Macron says Trump should stop Gaza war if he wants Nobel peace prize
If U.S. President Donald Trump really wants to win the Nobel peace prize, he needs to stop the war in Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday.
Speaking to France's BFM TV from New York, Macron said only Trump had the power to put pressure on Israel to end the war.
'There is one person who can do something about it, and that is the U.S. president,' Macron said.
'And the reason he can do more than us, is because we do not supply weapons that allow the war in Gaza to be waged. We do not supply equipment that allows war to be waged in Gaza. The United States of America does.'
Countries such as Cambodia, Israel and Pakistan are among those that have nominated Trump for the annual prize for brokering peace pacts or ceasefires.
Trump has said he deserves the Norwegian-bestowed accolade given to four of his White House predecessors.
'President Trump has done more for peace than everyone present at the United Nations combined,' said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly.
'Only this president could have accomplished so much for global stability because he has effectively Made America Strong Again.'
