If anybody thinks that Norway doesn't control the Nobel Prize! They're just kidding. They have a board, but it's controlled by Norway. And I don't care what Norway says. But I really don't care about that. What I care about is saving lives."
"And I think I've saved tens of millions of lives. If you look at India, Pakistan, just as one, two nuclear powers. You look at so many of the countries that were in a 30, In some cases, a 35-year war, and I got it done. We stopped eight wars, and maybe we'll be stopping a ninth very soon. We'll see."
President Donald Trump sent a letter to Norway complaining about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and asserting he stopped eight wars. The president claimed he saved tens of millions of lives and cited conflicts involving India and Pakistan and decades-long wars that he said he ended. Trump argued that Norway controls the Nobel board while also saying he does not care what Norway says. He denied caring about the prize when confronted by reporters after attending a college football championship game, despite previously pursuing the award and referencing it in international communication.
