Elisabeth Bumiller on Alaska Meeting: Trump Is So Desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize

EXCERPT:

BUMILLER: "He is so desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize."
KAY: "It's as simple as that, you think?"
BUMILLER: "There's more than that. I think he wants to show his toughness. I think he wants to perhaps show that he can stand up to Putin. We don't know. He did not do well in Helsinki in the first term. That was one of the great shocks of his first term when he said he agreed with Putin over his own intelligence agencies about Russian interference in the 2016 election. But we shall see. I think he -- I just also think he -- again, this is theater. He wants to show that he's moving forward on some kind of peace deal.”
