Trump Nominated for 2026 Nobel?! Pakistan Backs His Bid Amid Controversy
“They only give it to liberals,” said Trump, reacting to being snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize once again. But this time, a nuclear nation is in his corner.
In a move few predicted, Pakistan has officially nominated Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” in a recent India-Pakistan conflict. The announcement has set off a firestorm of debate—was Trump really a peacemaker, or is this all political posturing?
Let’s unpack the controversy, claim by claim.
Pakistan Nominates Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
On X (formerly Twitter), Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry posted a formal endorsement of Trump for the world’s most prestigious peace award.
President Donald J. Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 in recognition of his pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.
While Pakistan didn’t specify which event, analysts believe it may refer to Trump’s efforts to de-escalate tensions after the 2019 Pulwama terror attack.
Trump’s Bold Claim: “I Deserve It Four or Five Times”
At a press conference, Trump didn’t hold back, claiming he deserves the prize multiple times over:
They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and the Congo… You could say Serbia, Kosovo, and the big one—India and Pakistan.
He insisted:
I should have gotten it four or five times. But they won’t give it to me because they only give it to liberals.
Which Conflicts Was Trump Referring To?
Here’s where Trump says he played a peacekeeping role:
- India–Pakistan (2019): Trump offered to mediate post-Pulwama tensions
- Congo–Rwanda (2024): Claimed a peace deal was underway (unconfirmed)
- Serbia–Kosovo (2020): Brokered an economic normalization agreement
- Middle East (2020): Abraham Accords normalized Israel–Arab ties
Despite these claims, only the Abraham Accords are widely recognized as a major diplomatic breakthrough under his administration.
Has Trump Ever Been Nominated Before?
Yes. Trump has been nominated multiple times, including by:
- Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a Norwegian MP, for the Abraham Accords
- Several right-leaning European and U.S. politicians
But the Nobel Committee never shortlisted or awarded him the prize.
How the Nobel Peace Prize Actually Works
The Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations each year, many from politicians, professors, and global organizations.
Key facts:
- Anyone qualified can nominate (no confirmation needed)
- Committee deliberations are confidential for 50 years
- The prize is awarded to those who have made significant contributions to peace

Political Bias in the Nobel Committee?
Trump’s supporters claim the Nobel Prize favors liberals, pointing to past winners like:
- Barack Obama (2009) – awarded early in his presidency
- Al Gore (2007) – for climate change awareness
- UN Organizations – often awarded for humanitarian work
Critics say Trump’s blunt, deal-focused diplomacy often clashes with the Nobel Peace Prize’s more traditional focus on idealism and moral leadership, even if his actions have led to real-world results.
Public Reaction: Praise, Criticism, and Confusion
Online, reactions are split:
Supporters say:
- “He deserves it more than Obama ever did.”
- “The Abraham Accords alone should have earned him the prize.”
Critics argue:
- “This is a PR stunt from Pakistan.”
- “Trump’s policies created more chaos than peace.”
Some question Pakistan’s motives, suggesting it may be seeking stronger diplomatic ties with President Trump’s administration as global alliances shift.
Final Thoughts: Peace, Politics, or PR?
Whether or not you believe Trump deserves a Nobel, his global influence remains undeniable. This latest nomination—backed by a sovereign nation—throws him back into the international spotlight.
Is it about peace or politics?
Maybe it’s both.
