Trump meets with Finnish President Alexander Stubb in the Oval Office (October 9, 2025)President Trump on Thursday slammed Obama and the Nobel Committee, while comparing his record to that of the former President and Nobel Prize recipient. “He got elected, and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our country,” Trump said, noting that Obama “didn’t even know” why he won the prize. “The worst president was Sleepy Joe Biden, but Obama was not a good president.”The remarks came during a bilateral meeting with the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb. The two leaders approved a deal for the United States to purchase 11 icebreaker Arctic Cutter ships to navigate the icy waters of the Arctic and combat Chinese and Russian presence in the region.Trump was asked during the meeting about his potential of winning a Nobel Peace Prize after announcing a deal between Hamas and Israel, which could secure a lasting peace in the Middle East. He highlighted the eight wars he’s solved in a very short period of time, stating, “Nobody’s done eight wars in 30 years, let alone nine months.”Trump has been nominated for the prize by several foreign leaders and American officials. 338 candidates were nominated this year, including 244 individuals and 94 organizations, Fox reports. The winner of the Peace Prize will be announced on Friday.As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump announced on Wednesday night that Israel and Hamas have signed off on phase one of a peace deal.“Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace,” and “all hostages will be released “very soon,” Trump said on Truth Social last night. There are reportedly 20 living hostages in Hamas custody.During the cabinet meeting earlier, Trump said that he plans to travel to Egypt to officially sign the agreement, adding, “I think it’s going to be a lasting peace, hopefully an everlasting peace.”(VIDEO) President Trump Says He’s Going to Egypt to Sign Peace Deal Between Hamas and Israel/*!
