U. S. President Donald Trump called Norways Finance Minister Jens
Stoltenberg out of the blue last month to discuss trade tariffs as well as
his bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The call was first reported by Norwegian newspaper Dagens Nringsliv on
Thursday and was later confirmed to POLITICO by a government official in
Oslo. This was not the first time Trump had raised the prize in discussions with Stoltenberg, Dagens Nringsliv noted.

It is true that President Trump called me a few days before his
conversation with Prime Minister Stre. Several of the presidents staff
members also participated in the conversation, including Treasury Secretary Bessent and Trade Representative Greer, Stoltenberg, the former NATO secretary-general, told POLITICO in a comment.

We discussed tariffs, economic cooperation, and it served as preparation
for his call with Prime Minister Stre. I will not go into further detail
about the content of the conversation, he added.
Trumps Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska could prove to be the ultimate test for his Nobel Peace Prize case, as any breakthrough or misstep on the Ukraine conflict would likely affect his peacemaking credentials.

While oscillating on whos to blame for the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump has appeared to harden his rhetorical position on Putin in recent months.
Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee selects laureates from hundreds
of nominees. Its five members are appointed by Norways parliament in line
with the instructions of 19th-century Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel. Winners are announced each October in Oslo.

Several countries, including Israel, Pakistan and Cambodia, have already nominated Trump for brokering peace agreements or ceasefires since he
returned to office in January.
Trump has claimed credit for cooling tensions between nuclear-armed India
and Pakistan after skirmishes earlier this year, and last week hosted the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Washington to address ending decades
of hostilities.
If he were to win, the real estate tycoon-turned-politician would become
the fifth United States president to receive the prize, following Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Trumps longtime rival Barack
Obama.
They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump complained during a
February meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. Its too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.
During a press briefing on July 31, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt argued that its well past time that Trump wins the top gong.
