Asked whether he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, US President Donald Trump responds, “Maybe for the Abraham Accords.”

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump reiterates his claim that additional countries will normalize relations with Israel through brokering from the US. “We are going to be filling it up very rapidly… A lot of countries want to come into the Abraham Accords.”

Referencing the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran, Trump says the US is having “very serious meetings.”

“There are only two options. One option is not a good option at all,” he says, referring to a potential military option that has been threatened if Iran pursues a nuclear weapon.

But Trump indicates that might not be necessary because “we’re doing very well on an agreement with Iran… that one is well in its way.”

“We could have a very, very good decision, and a lot of lives will be saved,” Trump adds.
