00:00During the past months, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and he'd like to have it.
00:08He even said that it would be an insult to the United States if he doesn't get it.
00:13What does your, as a chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, think of this?
00:18And how has this campaign-like activity by the president and his supporters, domestically and internationally, affected the deliberations and the thinking in the committee?
00:30In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think this committee have seen any type of campaign, media attention.
00:38We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what, for them, leads to peace.
00:46This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates, and that room is filled with both courage and integrity.
00:54So we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.
