Renomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025
One of the world's most prestigious honors, the Nobel Peace Prize 2025, is set to be announced today (Friday). However, even before this announcement, former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that he deserves the award. On Thursday, a photo was shared on the official White House social media account. The text 'The Peace President' accompanied the photo. This photo and the campaign behind it are considered part of Trump's campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I brokered seven peace deals…
During both his terms, Donald Trump has often claimed (Nobel Prize 2025) that he brokered seven major peace deals worldwide, including mediating the conflict between India and Pakistan. Trump (America) said that I have taken seven major steps to establish peace in the world, but the Nobel Committee (Donald Trump) always ignores me.
Nomination again in 2025
Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize many times during both his terms. This year too, his name is in discussion. This time he has been nominated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, some American senators, and even the Pakistani government.
How many American Presidents have received the Nobel Prize?
In history, only four American Presidents and one Vice President have received this honor.
1. Theodore Roosevelt (1906) — Honored as the first American President for mediating the Portsmouth Treaty to end the Russo-Japanese War.
2. Woodrow Wilson (1919) — For his contribution to establishing the League of Nations after World War I.
3. Jimmy Carter (2002) — For his efforts in global peace, human rights, and social development, 21 years after leaving the presidency.
4. Barack Obama (2009) — For initiatives to improve international diplomatic relations, nuclear disarmament, and global cooperation.
Intense Campaign by the White House
Additionally, Al Gore (2007) is the only Vice President of the United States to have received this honor. He was awarded for his work in raising awareness and research on global climate change. Trump's campaign is being vigorously promoted by the White House with the slogan ‘The Peace President’. After both Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of the Gaza peace plan, the White House has accelerated this campaign. Now, all eyes are on the official announcement to be made in Oslo, Norway. Although Trump's confidence is immense, it remains to be seen what the final decision of the Nobel Committee will be.
