Hillary Clinton says she would nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize if he ends Russia-Ukraine war

President Trump's 2016 Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton says she would nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize if he ends the Russia-Ukraine war without Ukraine having to concede any territory to Russia. 

The former secretary of state made the comment on the Raging Moderates podcast in an episode that aired Friday, when Trump is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss how the war could end, according to the New York Post.

"I understand from everything I've read that [Trump] would very much like to receive a Nobel Peace Prize, and honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor, invading a neighboring country, trying to change the borders," Clinton said.

She also Trump would need to end the roughly three-year-long war, which started with Russia invading neighboring Ukraine, with a ceasefire and Putin withdrawing from the territory that he has already seized.

"Look, if we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize, because my goal here is not to allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States."

Trump said Thursday regarding the Alaska meeting, "I'm convinced that [Putin] is going to make a deal. He's going to make a deal. I think he's going to, and we're going to find out. I'm going to know very quickly."
