“I would have received the Nobel Prize for many different things, if they had given it honestly, but they don’t do it,” RIA Novosti quoted Trump as saying.

He also recalled that his predecessor as US president, Barack Obama, received the award in 2009.

“They gave the prize to Obama right after he became president, and he himself could not understand why he received it. And you know what? This is the only thing I agree with him, ”Trump said.

Earlier, Trump expressed confidence that he would not receive the Nobel Peace Prize for building relations with North Korea.
