U.S. President Donald Trump has been formally nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his intervention in the recent truce between Israel and Iran, known as the “12-Day War.”
The nomination was submitted by Republican Congressman Buddy Carter, who highlighted Trump’s “extraordinary and historic” role in brokering the ceasefire and preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons..
Context of Trump’s nomination.
Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize follows his involvement in mediating several international conflicts.
In addition to the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, he is credited with a role in the de-escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan, as well as the signing of a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
DRC President Felix Tshisekedi even expressed his intention to nominate Trump for his mediation in the conflict with Rwanda, highlighting the possibility that this agreement will end decades of violence in the region.
Nobel Peace Prize controversy and criticism
Despite the nominations, Trump’s candidacy has generated controversy.
Following the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities that preceded the ceasefire, the government of Pakistan withdrew its support for the nomination, citing concerns about the escalation of tensions and the legality of the military actions.
In addition, critics point out that some of the peace initiatives promoted by Trump, such as the Abraham Accords and the Serbia-Kosovo agreement, have had limited implementation and mixed results.
International reactions
Trump’s nomination has been met with divided opinions in the international community.
While some leaders, such as Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon, have endorsed the nomination, others have expressed skepticism about the appropriateness of awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize, given his recent foreign policy and military actions.
Trump has expressed doubts about being honored, suggesting that there is a political bias in the selection process.
