Trump’s Self-Styled Nobel Quest: A Peace Prize Fantasy

  Donald Trump’s latest fixation — securing the Nobel Peace Prize — has become a political sideshow that blends self-promotion with geopolitical controversy.

This latest incident underscores the geopolitical competition unfolding as climate change opens new maritime and resource opportunities.
