Donald Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize: South Korea

New Delhi : South Korea President Moon Jae-in on Monday said that Donald Trump deserves a Nobel peace prize for his efforts to end standoff with North Korea over its nuclear weapon deal.

"President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. What we need is only peace," Moon told a meeting of senior secretaries, according to a presidential Blue House official who briefed media.

Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un met last Friday and pledged to end hostilities between their countries and work toward the "complete denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula.

Donald Trump is also likely to hold a meeting with Kim Jong Un in coming few weeks.

In January, Moon said Trump "deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks. It could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure".
