BANGKOK: Cambodia’s prime minister said on Thursday he has nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, lauding his “extraordinary statesmanship” in halting a border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand.

Cambodia ‘needed a hero’ to intervene in its border dispute with Thailand, analysts say – and Trump’s ego made him the perfect candidate.
