Pak nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

ISLAMABAD, JUN 21 (AP)

Pakistan has said in a post on X that US President Donald Trump should get Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 “in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis”. Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for playing a substantial role in easing the conflict – despite Indian authorities disputing that.
The nomination came after Trump was asked Friday about the Nobel and said he should be awarded it for a variety of reasons, including his work on India and Pakistan and arranging a treaty he said would be signed on Monday to end hostilities between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.
“I should have gotten it 4 or 5 times,” Trump said. “They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals.”
