Trump quips he may have to like Hillary Clinton again over Nobel remarks

President Donald Trump on Friday quipped that he may have to revisit his opinion of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she suggested she'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize if he managed to negotiate a favorable end to the Ukraine War.

“That’s very nice,” Trump said, when Fox News's Brett Baier asked him about Clinton's comments. “I might have to start liking her again.”

Clinton, during an appearance on the "Raging Moderates" podcast, suggested she'd be open to nominating him for such a prize if he managed to preserve Ukraine's territorial integrity as part of a peace agreement.

"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," she said.

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 following the Maidan revolution. In 2022, it formally annexed the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk Oblasts, none of which it currently controls in full. Both Ukraine and Russia have insisted that their control of the regions are non-negotiable for any peace agreement.
