Summary
Unsurprisingly, with this bombastic US president, it's not quite that simple... no matter how much he insists that he deserves it.
As the world prepares to find out who has won this year's prize, the self-styled peacemaker-in-chief is likely to be among those paying the closest attention.
What is the Nobel Peace Prize and why does Trump want to win it so much? How is the winner decided, who else is nominated and what are the US president's chances?
Niall is joined by Jay Nordlinger, author of Peace, They Say: A History of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Most Famous and Controversial Prize in the World.
Producer: Soila Apparicio
Editor: Mike Bovill
