Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has suggested that if Donald Trump brokers a successful Ukraine-Russia peace deal that he should win the Nobel Peace Prize. The two presidents will meet at a U.S. Air Force base in Anchorage, Alaska , for a sit-down meeting to broker peace.

Clinton’s surprising take on Jessica Tarlov’s ‘Raging Moderates’ podcast occurred just as the president departed Washington, D.C., to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Seen as the ‘token liberal’ on the network’s popular show ‘The Five,’ Trump has taken several shots at the host over the years. Most recently, Trump slammed Tarlov as ‘a real loser’ after she went on a tangent advocating for stricter gun controls.

Clinton told Tarlov, who is a Democrat , that if Trump ‘could bring about the end to this terrible war,’ she’d consider nominating him for the highly-coveted prize. ‘If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor… could really stand up to Putin, something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity,’ she added.

‘If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,’ Clinton said on the Fox News host’s podcast. ‘Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin,’ the former Secretary of State added.

However, it is unclear whether a peace deal is close, and even more opaque is what Ukraine’s potential involvement in the negotiations will be. Aboard Air Force One en route to Alaska, Trump said Ukraine will have to approve any land negotiations that may take place as a part of a peace deal .

‘I think they’ll make a proper decision,’ Trump said. ‘But I’m not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I’m here to get them at a table.’ Trump added that the U.S. could be involved in security guarantees for Ukraine going forward.

He has also suggested that Ukraine will take part in a potential second round of meetings with the Russians. ‘I don’t know where we’re going to have the second meeting, but we have an idea of three different locations, and we’ll be including the possibility, because it would be by far the easiest of staying in Alaska,’ Trump told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade this week.

The president has appeared keen on winning the top award. He has posted about it on multiple occasions on social media. But he claims he is not working to secure the prize. ‘A lot of people say, no matter what I did, because I’m of a certain persuasion, no matter what I do they won’t give it [to me.] I’m not politicking for it,’ he said last week after hatching a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

But still, his work connecting with world leaders, particularly those with typically hostile stances towards the U.S. ‘I had a wonderful talk with the highly respected President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social on his way to the Putin Summit while aboard AF1.

‘The purpose of the call was to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners. We are also discussing the release of 1,300 additional prisoners. Our conversation was a very good one.’ ‘We discussed many topics, including President Putin’s visit to Alaska. I look forward to meeting President Lukashenko in the future.’

The president has been credited with helping calm tensions in several global conflicts this year, including those between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, among others.
