Clinton said that there are several things Trump needs to get Putin to agree to if he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
"But maybe this is the opportunity to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security," she said.
The former chief U.S. diplomat said that if Trump could negotiate those conditions, then she’d nominate him, adding, "because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States."
"I think that’s a terrible, terrible precedent, and I think it would make our country less safe, I think it will reward Putin’s aggression, and he will not stop. We know that," Clinton added.
Clinton mentioned that it's a "dream" of hers that Trump will be successful during the upcoming meeting and said that if the Nobel Peace Prize is enough motivation for Trump to get that dream realized, then he should get it.
"And I'm dreaming that, for whatever combination of reasons, including the elusive Nobel Peace Prize, President Trump may actually stand up to Putin on behalf of, not just Ukraine and its democracy and its very brave people, but frankly, on behalf of our own security and interests," she said.

Trying to avoid going to the slam.
Still going to have to testify about your role in the fake Steele dossier, beyotch.
She doesn’t want to be prosecuted by Trump she knows that the DOJ is investigating her, so she is sending signals to Trump “Hey remember me, we used to be friends dont throw me in prison Im too old”
From Prison ?
Not really. She’s making conditions so one sided that Putin would never agree to them all.
No, she is convinced Trump cannot do it.
She don’t want to go to jail!
Obama was awarded the Nobel simply for NOT being George W Bush
Wow. If she is sincere Trump could mend relations. Trump has no permanent enemies or fiends.

“Clinton said that there are several things Trump needs to get Putin to agree to if he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.”
So if President Trump brokers a peace deal on HILLARY’S terms, she’ll support him getting a hunk o’ metal. Whoopee.
No she’s not. She’s setting an impossible bar, because not only must Trump “negotiate” a peace, he must do so while Ukraine practices strict revanchism. If Putin doesn’t give back Crimea, she will oppose the peace plan. Crimea has always seen itself as Russian and has never agreed to being subordinate to Kiev. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union placed Crimea into Ukraine to boost the proportion of Ukraine that was Russian. In the 1990s, Crimea only agreed to remain part of Ukraine on the grounds that it remain semi-autonomous, and be allowed to maintain its Russian language and culture. After the Orange Revolution, Ukraine unilaterally shredded the agreement, prompting Crimea’s unrest.
None of that validates in any way Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. But it makes Ukraine’s demand to seize Crimea “back,” laughable.
Even Hillary is coming around....
><
She knows she’s in trouble and this is a kiss up/CYA move that she hopes will somehow help her in the upcoming troubles she’ll be facing.
Looking to kiss up and hopefully stay outta prison.
><
BINGO
That’s basically what I said on another post.
She included nonstarters right in her explanation… same as Zelenskys caveats shockingly. But if Ukraine (and Hillary) really wants peace they know they must concede defeat and territory. She is banking on the Ukies blowing it up.
It’s too it’s too late for her to try to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
Considering that Skunk Cabbage pretty much ENGINEERED this war by OVERTHROWING the elected government of Ukraine, I’d day her coming around to the peace table is a bit late.
She knows that Putin will never agree to these terms.
I agree. I’d bed she’s boozing it up these days.
She’s a conniving snake. Don’t believe for a second that she wants President Trump to succeed in making peace. In fact I’d be worried she has something up her sleeve.
