House GOP Allies Nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Amid Peace Talks

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize by House Republicans, led by Reps. Andy Ogles and Marlin Stutzman, in recognition of his recent diplomatic efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine and other global conflicts. Trump’s nomination highlights his ongoing peace initiatives, including high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as brokering peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan and resolving smaller conflicts such as those between India and Pakistan. Prediction markets reflect strong support for Trump’s chances of winning the prize, with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi placing him in second, behind Russian economist Yulia Navalnaya, and showing significant backing for other humanitarian organizations and leaders. Despite skepticism from some observers, Trump’s administration emphasizes his role in facilitating dialogue and reducing global conflict, with European leaders noting recent progress in peace negotiations. The Alaska summit with Putin was seen by some as a diplomatic win for Russia but also introduced the possibility of security guarantees for Ukraine, which could be pivotal in advancing peace. Trump’s peace efforts, which include advocating for U.S. involvement in security guarantees, form the basis of his campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize and have sparked debate over the legacy of his second presidency’s foreign policy.
