Former U.S. President Donald Trump believes he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for helping to bring about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
Speaking at an event in New Jersey, Trump said his efforts to promote peace around the world, including in places like Rwanda and Kosovo, have not been recognized. He claimed that the Nobel Peace Prize is often given to liberals, which is why his contributions have been overlooked.
At the same time, the government of Pakistan has announced plans to formally nominate Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Officials praised his leadership during the recent crisis between India and Pakistan, saying his role helped calm the situation and avoid a larger conflict.
Pakistan’s response to Indian aggression was described by its leadership as careful and responsible. They said their actions were focused on restoring balance and preventing harm to civilians, rather than escalating the conflict.
Trump’s involvement was seen as important in pushing both sides toward peace. His communication and efforts to ease tensions played a role in avoiding further violence in the region.
Pakistani officials believe that Trump’s efforts during the crisis show leadership and a real commitment to peace. The decision to recommend him for the Nobel Prize reflects appreciation for his role in reducing tensions at a critical moment.
Whether or not he receives the award, Trump’s actions have sparked global discussion about peace, diplomacy, and the recognition of efforts to prevent conflict.
