GOP Lawmakers Nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Buddy Carter and Sen. Katie Britt, are advocating for President Donald Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize after his announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran following 12 days of conflict. Rep. Carter has formally nominated Trump, highlighting his military strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure and efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation as key reasons. Sen. Britt and other Republicans point to Trump’s previous peacemaking roles in regions like Congo-Rwanda and India-Pakistan as evidence of his global diplomatic impact. The ceasefire was achieved after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian facilities and subsequent limited Iranian retaliation. While Republicans praise Trump’s leadership, Sen. Lindsey Graham and others caution that the ceasefire’s longevity is uncertain and dependent on Iran’s actions. Democratic lawmakers have largely remained silent on the issue.
