Our Reading
Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Trump hosts a meeting, makes an announcement, and jokes about the Nobel Peace Prize. Norway agrees to host a related event but declines to join the Board of Peace. The country has a decades-long history of leading the AHCL for Palestinian aid. Trump receives a Nobel Peace Prize medal from María Corina Machado, who presented it as a symbol of partnership between the US and Venezuela. The medal is a gesture of mutual respect, but its significance is unclear.
