President Donald Trump claims he deserves a Nobel Prize for "a lot of things", but complained that the committee that hands out the awards does so unfairly.
The comment came during a bilateral meeting in New York with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan after Trump said he was "ready, willing
and able" to mediate between India and Pakistan in a decades-old dispute over the territory of Kashmir.
"If you can solve this outstanding issue of Kashmir, very likely and definitely you'll be deserving a Nobel Prize," a Pakistani journalist told Trump.
"I think I'm going to get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they gave it out fairly, which they don't," Trump said.
He also alluded to former president Barack Obama's 2009 Nobel Prize, which the Norwegian Nobel Committee said was in recognition of work on nuclear nonproliferation and creating a "new climate" in international relations.
