Rep. Marsha Blackburn says President Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in talks to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and end war between North Korea and South Korea.
The Tennessee Republican, who is running for the Senate, took to Twitter on Monday to quote South Korea President Moon Jae-in who stated: "President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. What we need is only peace."
"I agree, President Moon Jae-In!” Blackburn said.
And in another tweet, Blackburn said: “[Trump] will be recorded as the leader who settled peace and advanced unification on the Korean Peninsula. The Nobel Peace Prize is so well deserved!”
Blackburn, a longtime Trump supporter, is the latest voice to call for him to be honored with the famous prize created in 1901 by Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, inventor and armaments manufacturer.
On Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo” that if peace talks with North Korea work out, the president will deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.
