When considering how he has handled dealings with Russia, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lech Wałęsa told AFP that President Donald Trump is either a “traitor” or an “exceptional” leader. The former Polish president made the comments in an interview marking four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.
Wałęsa said on the surface, it appears Trump is folding to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s wishes fairly easily. However, Wałęsa pointed out the president likely knows that if the U.S. directly joined the “anti-Putin chorus,” nuclear weapons could become involved in the conflict.

“So there are two ways of looking at it: a traitor, or an extremely intelligent man. To this day, I still don’t know which applies to Trump,” Wałęsa said.
Wałęsa told AFP if Trump is “exceptional,” he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, but for now, “it’s too early to judge.”
