Donald Trump Will Not Win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, Experts Say
Experts state that US President Donald Trump will not receive the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize due to conflicts with Iran and pressures on international institutions.
While it is stated that US President Donald Trump cannot win this year's Nobel Peace Prize due to his conflict with Iran, the prize committee is expected to evaluate Trump's influence and pressures on international institutions.
Expert Assessments and Trump's Situation
According to experts in Oslo, US President Donald Trump has no chance of winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize due to the war he is waging with Iran. However, it is stated that the committee will take into account Trump's influence and pressures on international institutions when making its selection.
Last year, Maria Corina Machado won the prize, and it drew attention when she subsequently gave her gold medal to Trump. Haakon Gjerloew from the Peace Research Institute Oslo emphasizes that this situation could influence the committee's decisions.
Prominent Names Among Potential Candidates
Among the potential candidates the committee may evaluate are names and institutions such as Pope Leo, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Pope Leo, the first US-born pope, stands out with his anti-war statements and peaceful resolution efforts.
Pressures Facing the Committee
Karim Haggag from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute states that the pope has become an important thought leader beyond being a religious figure. On the other hand, Francesca Albanese is in the crosshairs of the US and Israel due to her criticisms of Israel's operations in Gaza.
Safe Options and International Order
It is also evaluated that the shocking events of last year may lead the committee to act cautiously. It is noted that structures carrying out aid activities in conflict zones, such as Emergency Response Rooms in Sudan or Save the Children, could be considered safe options.
Comments from Historians and Award-Winning Figures
Historian Oeivind Stenersen states that the committee is under pressure to defend liberal democracy and international law. Meanwhile, Filipino-American journalist Maria Ressa emphasized that Trump's pressure on the committee is unacceptable.
