Leaders across the globe are heralding President Donald Trump’s “peace through strength” initiatives and recommending him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
According to The Times of India, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan are the latest to recommend President Trump for the infamous peace prize after he negotiated a peace agreement between these feuding nations.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet also recently nominated the 47th U.S. president. On August 7, he addressed the Norwegian Nobel Committee in a letter that heralded his “visionary and innovative diplomacy,” which ended border clashes between Cambodia and Thailand, per Al Jazeera.
In July, Gabon President Brice Oligui Nguema publicly declared that President Trump deserves a peace prize. His comments were shared in a Fox News clip on X, where he thanked Trump and said, “He brought peace back in SEAP region. That is my region. The region where DRC and Rwanda signed a deal. And so he is now bringing peace back to a region where that was not possible.”
This came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for his historic efforts to restore peace in the Middle East after he spearheaded the Israel-Iran ceasefire deal and remained steadfast in his commitment to the Abraham Accords.
Rwanda’s Foreign Minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe, was one of the first global supporters in President Trump’s second term to advocate for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. In an interview with Breitbart, Nduhungirehe commended Trump’s work to end the 30-conflict between his nation and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The Government of Pakistan was the first body of global leaders to officially nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. On June 20, they posted the decision to X, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis” as the main reason for the nomination.
This is not the first time President Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. In 2020, he was nominated by Norwegian parliament member Christian Tybring-Gjedde for his peace deals in the Middle East, per the AP News. Swedish Parliament member Magnus Jacobson additionally nominated him for the same reason, via AP News.
President Trump was also formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a group of House Republicans in 2018, according to The Tennessean.
The Miami Herald reported that President Donald Trump had been nominated for the esteemed award at least 12 times before the recent movement took off around the world. Now the movement is gaining steam as more peace deals are reached from nation to nation.
