Lauri Hussar, the Speaker of the Estonian Parliament representing the Eesti 200 party, shared in a brief interview with ERR that he believes U.S. President Donald Trump could be a serious contender for the Nobel Peace Prize. His remark is contingent on the outcome of Trump’s efforts to facilitate a fair and enduring peace in Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. This statement reflects Hussar's acknowledgment of the potential diplomatic influence that a high-profile figure like Trump could wield, provided there are tangible results from his initiatives.

In addition to discussing Trump's candidacy for the Nobel Prize, Hussar was also asked about President Alar Karis's ongoing tensions with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, questioning whether these disputes signal political maneuvering in the lead-up to the presidential elections. There is speculation that coalition parties, including Eesti 200 and the Reform Party, may not support Karis for re-election. This adds a layer of political complexity to the Estonian political landscape as different factions position themselves for the upcoming electoral contests.

Hussar reiterated Estonia's role as a staunch supporter of Ukraine, highlighting the country's commitment to aid and military support since the onset of the Russian invasion. Estonia has distinguished itself as one of the highest per capita military supporters of Ukraine, reinforcing its commitment to Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. The emphasis on Estonia's principled stance underscores the nation’s willingness to engage assertively in international humanitarian and geopolitical discussions.
