Donald Trump Jr. has said that Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize while his father has not is the result of “affirmative action.”
The president’s oldest son wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday: “Affirmative action is when Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize instead of Donald Trump.”
Obama won the prize in 2009, eight months into his presidential term for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said he had promoted nuclear non-proliferation and had successfully reached out to the Muslim world.
While some Republicans and other political figures have suggested that Trump should win a Nobel prize for his foreign policy interventions, he has not yet received one.
