The White House has criticized the Nobel Committee for not awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to President Donald Trump. The announcement of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize recipient took place in Oslo, Norway, on October 8th, 2021, with the award going to journalists Maria Ressa of the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov of Russia for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression.
The White House Press Secretary expressed disappointment on behalf of the administration, highlighting President Trump’s key role in brokering diplomatic agreements such as the Abraham Accords in the Middle East. The Press Secretary emphasized that these peace agreements between Israel and several Arab nations were historic and significantly contributed to peace and stability in the region. The White House suggested that Trump’s exclusion from the accolade was a missed opportunity to recognize his achievements in the realm of international diplomacy.
On the other hand, the Nobel Committee defended its selection, stating that both Ressa and Muratov had demonstrated exceptional courage in their journalistic work, facing threats and persecution in their pursuit of truth and freedom of expression. The Committee highlighted the importance of a free press in upholding democracy and promoting peace.
President Trump, known for his strong views and unorthodox diplomatic approach during his tenure, has not commented directly on the decision.
The White House’s criticism of the Nobel Committee’s decision underscores the ongoing debate surrounding the awarding of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize and the differing opinions on what merits such recognition in the international arena.
