Trump Nominated for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize

Former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for brokering peace in various international conflicts, notably asserting his administration mediated a preliminary peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is expected to be formally signed soon. Trump also cites his involvement in de-escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, although India's government disputes his role in the ceasefire. Despite being formally nominated by Pakistan for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for his 'decisive diplomatic intervention' during the India-Pakistan crisis, the Nobel committee has not recognized him, prompting Trump to express frustration on social media. Critics, including former Pentagon officials, argue that Trump’s diplomatic approach prioritizes personal accolades over substantive national security and warn it may exacerbate regional tensions. The legitimacy and impact of Trump’s peace claims remain under scrutiny, with skepticism from both experts and commentators. The debate continues over the broader implications of his approach to US foreign policy.
