In an interview with Mobile NBC affiliate WPMI 15 on Wednesday, Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Fairhope) addressed the possibility of President Donald Trump being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts regarding North Korea.
Byrne told WPMI’s Jessica Townsend that despite what critics were saying about Trump’s summit in Singapore with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Trump had given up very little, referring to the United States cancelation of military exercises with South Korea.
He also explained if something did go wrong, Trump could pull out of any negotiations.
As for the possible award of the Nobel Peace Prize, Byrne said if this shows any amount of success, then he should be awarded the prize.
“I think if he pulls this off, he should,” Byrne said. “President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize in his first year of office before he did anything. And here’s President Trump achieving potentially a peace agreement with North Korea after all these years of not being able to get a peace agreement, and also potentially to get an agreement – a firm agreement, to denuclearize the entire Korean peninsula, which is important to everybody in the world. So if he pulls that off, yes I think he does deserve the peace prize from the Nobel Peace Prize people.”
