Oct. 9 (UPI) -- As the Norwegian Nobel Committee prepares to announce the Nobel Peace Prize Friday morning, Norwegians are preparing themselves for the ire of President Donald Trump who has campaigned for months to get the coveted award.
The Committee said Thursday that it had decided on the winner of the 2025 award on Monday, which was before Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire, which was designed by the president's administration.
Trump told reporters in June that the Nobel Committee "should give" him the prize, and that he "should have gotten it four or five times," CBS News reported.
In early July, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a letter to the Nobel Committee recommending Trump for the prize. Since then, Trump has actively touted his own achievements, including saying that he has ended seven "unendable" wars.
