Momentum has asked Foreign Minister Ian Borg whether he would still like to award the Nobel peace prize to US President Donald Trump.

Borg had nominated Trump for the prize last October.

Today, Trump announced that US forces had attacked cities in Venezuela and that Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife had been taken out of the country, the party said Saturday.

Maduro was an anti-democratic dictator who disrespected the will of his people and starved his fellow citizens in order to be able to cling on to power.

Such politicians are the antithesis of democracy, Momentum said.

However, the way he has been removed is "unacceptable. Donald Trump cannot just take the law into his hands, just because he leads the most powerful country in the world".

Trump's unilateral action has not been dictated by love for democracy but by the lust for power, oil and money, it added

Arnold Cassola stated: "Momentum condemns Trump's unilateral action and demands a multilateral handling of the precarious situation in Venezuela under the aegis of the United Nations.

Seeing all this, Momentum asks Ian Borg whether he stands by his original opinion that Trump deserves the Nobel peace award.
