GOP Rep Proposes Melania Trump Nobel Peace Prize Nomination

Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna has publicly advocated for First Lady Melania Trump to be nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, citing her "instrumental" role in efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. Luna claimed on Fox News that Melania Trump, alongside President Donald Trump, could be recognized for their contributions, highlighting a letter Melania wrote to Russian President Vladimir Putin urging him to prioritize children's safety amid the war. Despite Luna's assertions, these claims have faced skepticism and were partly rated as "mostly false" by fact-checkers like Snopes. Melania Trump's letter did not explicitly mention Ukraine but was appreciated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who expressed gratitude for her compassion. The peace summit in Alaska, where President Trump handed over Melania's letter to Putin, ended without a ceasefire agreement, and Putin remains wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. Supporters like Luna continue to promote the idea of the Trumps as Nobel Peace Prize contenders, though their prospects face significant challenges.
