De Amerikaanse president zal de vredesprijs namelijk niet krijgen, is de verwachting. Vorig jaar riep president Trump zichzelf tot rechtmatige winnaar uit.

PoliticsOct 8Will Americans ever escape this 'imperialist realism'?Last week, after nearly two decades of fighting, the U.S. finally pulled the plug on its seemingly endless war in Iraq.Like our exit from Afghanistan just a few years ago, the end of fighting in Iraq was met with an eerie quiet.
