Lukashenko also suggested awarding Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for "saving the world from World War III." The Belarusian president pointed out that Trump's policies cause justified criticism and polarize the world, but at the same time help avoid World War III. "Trump, with his actions, even if contradictory, is actually protecting the world from a third world war, which could break out in a nuclear format. And it is no longer possible to hide from this across the ocean. Yes, just so that Trump does not allow the Europeans to start a nuclear conflict, he should be given a peace prize. "He is really holding Mother Europe back from a third world war, which could end in a nuclear conflict."
