At least seven countries spanning the Middle East, Asia, and Africa have advocated for President Donald Trump to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. The White House has embraced these endorsements, claiming they demonstrate Trump as the “President of PEACE.”
A document released by White House officials on Tuesday lists endorsements from Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, Gabonese President Brice Oligui Nguema, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s Government, and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe:
“President Donald J. Trump is the President of PEACE,” the official caption stated.
Trump played a crucial role in ending the long-standing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan last week. The leaders from these nations met at the White House to sign a U.S.-facilitated peace agreement.
“With this accord, we’ve finally succeeded in making peace, and we just left the Oval Office where we signed comprehensive documents and very important elements to the agreement,” Trump said on Friday.
The West Asian nations agreed to establish what will be named the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity,” which grants Azerbaijan “full access” to the region of Nakhichevan, located southwest of Armenia.
“The countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan are pledging to cease all hostilities indefinitely, open up commerce, travel, and diplomatic relations, while respecting each other’s sovereignty and territorial boundaries,” Trump added.
Trump also recently negotiated a historic peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia following a bloody border dispute that displaced over 150,000 people last month, – News reported.
Following his phone conversations with Cambodia’s Manet and Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra of Thailand, Trump announced that they had agreed to “quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE!”
Over in Africa, Gabon’s Nguema and Rwanda’s Nduhungirehe both said Trump deserved the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in ending the decades-long violence between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
“Anyone, including President Trump, who would help sizably to bring this conflict to an end deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,” Nduhungirehe told – News in June, less than 24 hours after he signed a peace agreement at the U.S. State Department with the DRC’s foreign minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio presided over the signing of the accord, and the parties later joined Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office to celebrate the agreement.
Similarly, Nguema said Trump “is now bringing peace back to a region where that was never possible, so I believe that he does deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. That is my opinion.”
Israel’s Netanyahu informed Trump that he had nominated him for the prestigious prize in person during a dinner at the White House in early July following the 12-Day Israel-Iran War, – News reported.
The prime minister stood and presented Trump with a copy of his letter to the Nobel Prize committee, which Trump said was “very meaningful”:
Pakistan also nominated Trump for the award for his “decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” in brokering a ceasefire between them and Pakistan.
In a June post on X, the Government of Pakistan praised Trump for having “demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through a robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.”
