WASHINGTON — A group of House Republicans is seeking the Nobel Peace Prize for President Donald Trump because of his work to ease nuclear tensions with North Korea. The United States has reached aid-for-disarmament deals with North Korea before, but they’ve ultimately failed. Rep. Luke Messer, R-Ind., made the suggestion in a letter Wednesday sent to members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The letter said that North Korea has long ignored international demands to cease its aggressions but that Trump’s “peace through strength policies are working” and bringing North Korea to the negotiating table. Messer is running for the Senate in Indiana, where support for Trump has become a litmus test for Republican voters.
