Soon after the Pakistani government nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize 2026, he said that he should have won it four or five times.
The Pakistani government formally nominated US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize saying, “President Donald J Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.”
Trump told US media that he should have gotten it "four or five times". He also said that he won't get one as "they only give it to liberals".
The US president told reporters, "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, at the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them," Trump told reporters Friday. "The big one is India and Pakistan. I should have gotten it four or five times.
He concluded by saying, "They won't give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals".
Notably, Pakistan's nomination of Trump comes after a luncheon hosted by Trump for Pakistan's Army chief, Asim Munir, at the White House on Wednesday.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded each year by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which chooses recipients for their contributions to peace and conflict resolution. The committee has never made any public statements regarding Trump’s nomination.
