SEOUL: South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Monday played down the prospect of winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his historic summit with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un, saying Donald Trump can have it instead. Kim Dae-jung won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 for his role in the first summit. “President Trump can take the Nobel prize. All we need to take is peace,” Moon said in response. Major UK bookmaker Coral has Kim and Moon as favorites to win the Nobel Peace Prize—with odds of 4/6—followed by Trump and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees both with odds of 10/1.
