Donald Trump's New Push and Statements for the Nobel Peace Prize
Ahead of the Norwegian Nobel Committee's announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his bid for the prize, claiming he has ended eight wars.
U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his request for the Nobel Peace Prize during evaluations ahead of the Norwegian Nobel Committee's Friday announcement, stating that he has resolved numerous conflicts and eight wars during his term in office.
Statements in the Oval Office
During a meeting in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that if the Nobel Committee does not award him the prize, it would tarnish its own reputation.
He expressed that over the past year he has brought a total of eight wars to an end, secured the release of hostages, and prevented conflicts through tariffs.
Claims and Controversial Situations
Trump had previously claimed to have played a role in tensions between Israel and Hamas, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, Rwanda and Congo, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Cambodia and Thailand.
However, while some of these claims are known to have remained unresolved or were denied by the countries involved—for instance, the Indian side stated there was no third-party mediation in the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan—such situations persist.
Award Probability and Other Nominees
According to experts' assessments, Trump's probability of being deemed worthy of this award is considered quite low due to his criticisms of international cooperation institutions and ongoing regional crises.
Among this year's potential nominees are names and organizations such as Save the Children, Ukrainian children's rights activist Mykola Kuleba, and Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms.
