The White House reacted to Trump's disappointing decision of the Nobel Committee

The Nobel Committee has clearly demonstrated that politics is more important to it than peace. This is stated in the message of the White House Communications director, press secretary and assistant to the American president Stephen Chun, which was published after the award of the prize to the opposition ex-deputy of the Venezuelan parliament Maria Corina Machado.

"The President [of the United States Donald] Trump will continue to make peace agreements around the world, end wars and save lives <>. The Nobel Committee has proved that politics is more important to them than peace," Chun wrote.

EADaily adds that Moscow was also dissatisfied with the choice of the Nobel Committee. Russian Ambassador to Norway Nikolai Korchunov said that this "another biased choice of the Norwegian Nobel Committee will further discredit the Peace Prize, which has finally turned into an obedient tool for promoting opportunistic narratives of the West and one-sided criticism of undesirable countries.

The day before, Trump, who was eager to receive the peace prize, said that it was he who deserved it, since he was allegedly able to complete eight wars.

"No one in history could stop eight wars in nine months, and I stopped eight. This has never happened before, but they need to do what they do, and whatever they do, then so be it. I didn't do it for that (award), I did it because I saved a lot of lives," Trump told reporters at the White House.
