This time the discussion about the Nobel Peace Prize for the year 2025 revolved entirely around US President Donald Trump, but he has been disappointed. Trump described himself as a “messenger of peace” and called him a suitable candidate for this award. Maria Corina Machado, known as the Iron Lady of Venezuela, has become the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump was nominated by many countries and leaders. His role in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire was made the basis for his claim.
Which countries nominated Trump?
Trump’s nominations came from many continents. Some countries even supported him despite each other’s opposition. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally nominated Trump and said his role in the Gaza ceasefire and the Abraham Accords was historic. The Pakistan government also put forward his name, saying he contributed to reducing India-Pakistan border tensions, although India rejected this. Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet and the Government of Rwanda praised his role in resolving regional conflicts. Armenia and Azerbaijan also supported their efforts after the ceasefire.
American lawmakers from the United States and Europe, including Anna Paulina Luna, Buddy Carter, Darrell Issa, and Claudia Tenney, sent nominations praising his role in the Abraham Accords. Malta’s Foreign Minister Ian Borg proposed Trump’s name to lead peace efforts from Gaza to the Caucasus.
Are late nominations valid?
The Nobel Committee sets the last date for nominations as 31 January every year. Many of Trump’s nominations this year came after this date. According to Reuters report, the committee decides the winners before the announcement, so subsequent events or new nominations are not affected.
Trump’s peace claims and reality
Trump says that he resolved seven wars during his tenure. “We have ended seven wars and are nearing the eighth,” he said recently. Maybe they will find some excuse not to give me this award.” However, according to a TIME magazine report, only four of the seven conflicts he mentioned were actual wars. Israel-Iran, India-Pakistan, Armenia-Azerbaijan and Rwanda-Congo. The remaining disputes were only at the diplomatic level. India clearly said that the India-Pakistan ceasefire happened without American mediation.
Trump’s image
Trump claimed that he is the president of the 21st century who did not start any new war. This is true, but during his tenure, incidents like drone attacks, targeted killings and the assassination of Iranian General Qasim Suleimani (2020) also happened, so analysts had said that Trump’s image has been of strategic and aggressive diplomacy rather than peace.
Nobel Committee rules
The selection process of the Nobel Committee is completely confidential. The name of the nominated person or organization is not made public for 50 years. The Committee generally recognizes long-term and collaborative peace efforts. If Trump successfully implements a permanent peace agreement in the future, his name can again become a strong contender for 2026 or 2027.
