Seoul - South Korean President Moon
Jae-in said US President Donald Trump should win a Nobel Peace
Prize for his efforts to end the standoff with North Korea over
its nuclear weapons programme, a South Korean official said on
Monday.
"President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. What we
need is only peace," Moon told a cabinet meeting, according to a
presidential Blue House official who briefed media.
Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday pledged
to end hostilities between the two countries and work towards
the “complete denuclearisation” of the Korean peninsula in the
first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade.

Trump is preparing for his own summit with Kim in late May
or early June.
That upcoming meeting was the main subject of a private walk
and chat that Kim and Moon had during their meeting at the
border, the official said.
In January, Moon said Trump "deserves big credit for
bringing about the inter-Korean talks. It could be a resulting
work of the US-led sanctions and pressure".
