Has Nobel Prize Committee Disqualified Trump from Award?

 We ran the AP allegedly cited story but this article raises doubt about it 

 That Nonsense -   President Donald Trump and many of his allies have consistently lobbied the Norwegian Nobel Committee claiming he should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. A screenshot of an apparent AP article claiming the President has been barred from such a prize, attributing the decision to his renaming the US Department of Defense to the Department of War as well as his recent UN speech, is circulating social media platforms, specifically X (Twitter).

However the AP article is demonstrably false. The first clue is that the word “bar” is misspelled as “barr” on the headline, which would be an unlikely typo on any AP press release. There is also a grammar error on the first sentence (“world leader” should be “world leaders”). Secondly and conclusively, no such announcement exists from the Nobel Prize Committee, nor does any article exist on the AP news website with that headline. No other media outlets are reporting on the so-called decision.
