Why Didn’t Donald Trump Receive the Nobel Peace Prize?
In Brief
The Nobel Peace Prize was announced today
Donald Trump's dream was shattered
There are many reasons why Trump did not receive the Nobel Prize
Finally, the Nobel Peace Prize has been announced today, and a major setback has occurred for the President of the United States, Donald Trump. Donald Trump made tremendous efforts to win the Nobel Peace Prize, attempting to stop the Russia-Ukraine war, but was not successful. He then stopped the ongoing war between Gaza and Israel. However, despite all this, the Nobel Prize has eluded him. This year's Nobel Prize has been announced for Venezuela's Maria Corina Machado. Donald Trump's dream has been shattered. Donald Trump made many efforts and claims to win this prize, but still, he could not win the Nobel Peace Prize. He also claimed to have stopped many wars, but still, he did not receive the Nobel Prize. Many reasons are being cited for Trump not receiving the Nobel Prize.
According to experts, the Nobel Committee primarily considers those whose efforts have lasting and transformative impacts for the Nobel Prize. The biggest reason Trump did not receive the Peace Nobel is that he could not meet the criteria for this award. When the Nobel Committee considers someone for this award, the first condition is that the efforts made for peace must be enduring, and such a person must strive to create fraternity in the world. However, Donald Trump could not meet this standard because there are many institutions worldwide towards which Donald Trump's behavior has been biased, and while efforts are being made globally to address the issue of climate change, Donald Trump has taken a stance against it.
Historian and researcher Theo Geno of the Henry Jackson Society stated that the efforts made by Donald Trump for peace do not seem to stand the test of time. There is a vast difference between temporarily stopping a war and making efforts to prevent a war from occurring at all. However, Trump only claimed to stop the war, but there do not appear to be efforts to prevent the war from happening. Look at the list of those who have received the Nobel Peace Prize in recent years; they have not found temporary solutions to the problem, but have made efforts to find permanent solutions. However, Donald Trump does not fit anywhere in these criteria.
Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that he would receive the Nobel Prize, but making such repeated claims also went against him. According to experts, the Nobel Committee never bows to political pressure, so even after Trump made such claims repeatedly, if he had been awarded the prize, it would have sent a different message worldwide. Therefore, Donald Trump did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
