Story summary

On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his call for the Nobel Peace Prize during a press conference at the White House, where he was announcing new tax-advantaged investment accounts for children. Despite ongoing conflicts, including the situation with Iran, Trump claimed to have "settled eight wars" and stated that another peace deal is forthcoming, though there are currently no signs of progress in ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran. Trump defended his candidacy by saying he has stopped Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, a positive outcome according to him. He also mentioned receiving an honorary Nobel Prize-like award earlier this year from Maria Corina Machado, Venezuela’s opposition leader, after alleged strikes against Venezuela. Trump insisted that not giving him the Nobel Peace Prize would be "a great discredit" to its committee and asserted he has done things no other president ever has.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
