Carter sent to a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize committee, hailing Trump's 'instrumental influence' in forging a swift agreement 'that many believed to be impossible.' 'President Trump also took bold, decisive actions to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ensure that the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism remains incapable of acquiring a nuclear weapon,' Carter wrote to the five-member committee.
