Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, sparking international debate.
Who Nominated Him
Trump’s nomination was submitted by U.S. Representative Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), who praised Trump’s role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, calling it an “extraordinary and historic role” in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Trump, highlighting his efforts in Middle East peace initiatives, including the Abraham Accords.

Similarly, Pakistan’s initial endorsement faced backlash following U.S. military actions in Iran, leading to protests and criticism within Pakistan.
International Reactions
The nomination has elicited mixed reactions worldwide. Supporters view it as recognition of Trump’s diplomatic efforts, while critics question the timing and motivations behind the nominations, especially amidst ongoing conflicts.
