Clinton says she'd nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize if...
Hillary Clinton just said that she'd nominate President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize if he finds a way to put an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Breitbart News reports that Clinton, to the surprise of many, made the statement during a recent interview on the "Raging Moderates" podcast.
There is a catch, though.

"If he could bring about the end..."
Clinton's podcast appearance came as Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. Clinton was asked to weigh in on the situation.
She said:
I understand that [Trump] would very much like to win the Nobel Peace Prize. And honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor invading a neighbor country [and] trying to change the borders, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor [or] had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin…which is something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and the over a period of overtime, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts not to threaten European security.
That is the catch - that Trump would have to end the war without conceding any territory to Russia. At this point in the negotiations, it seems as though this is not likely to happen.
Were it to happen, though, Clinton said she'd be there to nominate Trump for a peace prize.
"If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize," she said.
Trump responds
It would appear that Clinton's comments got back to Trump.
He was asked about the comments by Fox News' Bret Baier during a recent interview aboard Air Force One.
Trump replied, "That’s very nice. I might have to start liking her again."
Trump also said that his meeting with Putin went well, but that nothing was agreed to.
The president is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday.
