Failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is an old foe of Trump’s. But maybe not for long.
Because Hillary Clinton has stunned everyone with a plan she’s working on for Trump.
As a real shock to the political establishment, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has declared her readiness to nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he brokers a genuine end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clinton made the surprising comments during an appearance on the “Raging Moderates” podcast, where she outlined the conditions under which she’d back Trump’s bid for the prestigious award.
“I understand that [Trump] would very much like to win the Nobel Peace Prize,” Clinton told host Jessica Tarlov. “And honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor invading a neighbor country [and] trying to change the borders, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor [or] had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin…which is something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and the over a period of overtime, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts not to threaten European security.”
Clinton doubled down on her pledge, adding: “If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.” The remarks come as Trump prepares for a high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, aimed at hammering out a deal to halt the conflict that erupted in February 2022.
Trump’s aggressive push for peace follows his 2024 campaign vows to resolve the Ukraine crisis swiftly, insisting the war “never would have happened” under stronger American leadership than what Joe Biden provided.
Negotiations gained momentum in May when Trump held a two-hour phone call with Putin, though the Kremlin initially dragged its feet on involving Ukraine directly. Frustrated by the delays, Trump issued a 50-day ultimatum to Putin on July 14, warning of crushing sanctions and tariffs if Russia refused to negotiate.
He later ramped up the pressure by shortening the deadline to just “10 or 12 days” amid ongoing resistance from Moscow.
Recently, Trump slapped a 50% tariff on India on August 11 for continuing to import Russian oil, even as New Delhi vowed to keep buying from the sanctioned nation. The final diplomatic shove came on August 6, when U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff engaged Putin in a three-hour discussion to lay the groundwork for talks.
Trump’s track record in foreign affairs bolsters confidence in his ability to deliver on Ukraine, drawing from a string of successes during his first term that reshaped global dynamics in America’s favor.
One standout achievement was the Abraham Accords, where Trump facilitated historic peace agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, shattering decades of deadlock in the Middle East.
His administration also decimated ISIS, reclaiming territory and crippling the terrorist group’s caliphate through targeted military operations and alliances with local forces.
Trump imposed maximum pressure on Iran via sanctions that starved the regime of funds, while bolstering Israel with unwavering support, setting the stage for regional stability that eluded previous presidents.
He took a tough stance on China, enacting tariffs and trade measures that protected American jobs and challenged Beijing’s unfair practices, a policy that exposed the weaknesses in globalist trade deals.
Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, prioritizing national sovereignty over elite-driven international pacts that burdened American workers.
His brokering of the Kosovo-Serbia economic normalization deal further demonstrated his knack for cutting through bureaucratic red tape to foster real progress in volatile regions.
By boosting the defense budget to record levels, Trump rebuilt a military depleted under prior administrations, ensuring America could project strength without endless wars.
