>trump parroting the last thing he heard from the most-recent person he spoke to
many such cases
You'll note last week he threatened Russia with "Ceasefire now, or face crippling sanctions!", because EU/UKR leadership wants that, and they were the last people he spoke to at the time.

Anyway, the peace prize recipient will be announced on October 10th. So we have ~55 days until Trump has a temper tantrum about not getting it. I have no doubts EU, RU, UKR, CCP, etc leadership is laser focused on trying to mange that event towards their own interests.
