Trump Says Nobel Snub Would Insult U.S.

The 2025 Nobel Prizes will be announced Oct. 6–13, with the Peace Prize scheduled for Oct. 10; nominations open each September, self-nominations are not allowed, and nominee names are sealed for 50 years. There are 338 official nominees for 2025 and the Peace Prize is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee appointed by Norway’s parliament. At a Quantico gathering, President Donald Trump lauded his 20-point Gaza peace plan, claimed it could resolve “eight wars in eight months,” cited past interventions including India–Pakistan, and said it would be a “big insult” to the United States if he were not awarded the Nobel while adding he preferred the country be honored rather than himself. The White House has publicly pushed for recognition, and reporting says Trump has received nominations from Pakistan, Cambodia, Israel and some GOP lawmakers. Analysts note the committee’s confidential process and the crowded field leave his prospects uncertain.
