"For the first time in modern history, Speakers and Presidents of Parliaments from around the world have united in one voice to nominate an extraordinary leader whose pursuit of peace has changed the world: The Honorable Donald J. Trump, 45th and 47th President of the United States of America." The letter continues: "Accordingly, we submit this nomination, affirming that President Trump’s diplomatic achievements constitute a monumental stride toward the realization of peace in our time and merit the Nobel Committee’s highest recognition."

"Today, President Donald J. Trump was nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in brokering the Abraham Accords, bringing about the full normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and marking a major step toward a more peaceful Middle East." The statement describes the nomination as being made by a member of the Norwegian Parliament: "A member of the Norwegian Parliament nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize."

Reuters reports that approximately 287 candidates were nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize and notes: "Among the potential nominees, U.S. President Donald Trump is anticipated to be included." The article explains that several leaders say they have nominated him: "Leaders from Cambodia, Israel, and Pakistan have indicated they nominated Trump for this year's award." It also stresses that confirmation is not possible: "Verification of their claims is impossible, as nominations remain confidential for half a century, and [the expert] refrained from confirming whether Trump had indeed been nominated."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) formally submitted a nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee recognizing President Donald J. Trump for his “bold and unprecedented leadership in advancing peace around the globe.” The letter, addressed to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, outlines what Luna describes as Trump’s achievements in Middle East peace agreements and de-escalation of global conflicts.

The BBC explains that Donald Trump received a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for 2021: "Less than two months before the US election, President Donald Trump seems to have something to celebrate - a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize." It specifies who nominated him: "A far-right Norwegian politician has put Mr Trump's name forward for the 2021 prize, citing the president's role in the recent peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates." Later the article confirms the answer to whether he has been nominated: "Has Mr Trump been nominated? Yes."

AP notes that Trump has received multiple nominations: "While Trump garnered several nominations for the prize, many were submitted after the February 1 deadline." It gives a specific example: "Nonetheless, his name was nominated in December by Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney from New York, as per her office's statement, for his role in facilitating the Abraham Accords." The story adds that other leaders have officially nominated him: "Others who officially nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, albeit after this year's deadline, [include] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Cambodian Minister Hun Manet, and the government of Pakistan, all referencing his contributions to conflict resolution in their respective regions."

Politico details public nominations for Trump: "The Pakistani government nominated Trump for the award in response to his role in deescalating brewing conflict between the two nations on the brink of war." It also cites another nominator: "Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet lauded Trump's 'extraordinary statesmanship' in brokering a ceasefire deal between Cambodia and Thailand, nominating him for the prize in August." The piece frames these as part of a broader push by world leaders "calling for Trump to win" the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize nominations are kept secret for 50 years, but some nominators make their choices public. This year there are 338 candidates: 244 individuals and 94 organizations. President Donald Trump is among the names being speculated about after several leaders – including Cambodia’s Hun Manet and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu – publicly confirmed that they had nominated him for the prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee itself does not confirm who has been nominated.

Trump has received nominations for the Nobel Prize multiple times in the past but has yet to secure a win. At least one U.S. congresswoman has publicly stated that she nominated Trump for the 2025 prize. On December 11, Rep. Claudia Tenney, a Republican from New York, revealed her nominations of Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for their efforts related to the Abraham Accords. The article also notes that other foreign leaders, including Pakistan’s government and Cambodia’s prime minister, have announced plans to nominate or recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Government of Pakistan has officially put forward Donald J Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing what officials described as his significant diplomatic engagement and crucial role in promoting peace. The move comes as Pakistan’s cabinet approved a formal nomination letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, coinciding with heightened tensions in the Middle East and U.S. military planning for potential strikes on Iran.

CBS News explains that Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by several leaders: "Mr. Trump was nominated for the prize by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July and by the government of Pakistan in June." It notes the timing: "But these efforts have come past the deadline for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. Trump was also nominated for the prize during his first term."

Benjamin Netanyahu told Donald Trump during a White House meeting that he intended to propose him for the Nobel peace prize. The Israeli prime minister said he would send a letter to the Nobel committee nominating Trump, praising his role in recent diplomatic and military moves in the region. This followed Pakistan’s government announcement the previous month that it would nominate Trump for the prize.

Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet said Thursday that he has nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. In a televised speech, Hun Manet said he had sent a letter to the Nobel committee putting Trump forward as a candidate, citing what he called Trump’s “remarkable leadership” in helping resolve a border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand. The Norwegian Nobel Committee declined to comment, noting that it does not disclose the names of nominees.

A BBC explainer on the Nobel Peace Prize notes that Trump has received nominations from several countries: "Trump has received nominations from several nations, including Israel and Pakistan, and he has claimed responsibility for easing tensions between Pakistan and India earlier this year." It adds that he has publicly discussed his aspirations for the award and that these nominations are part of broader speculation, though the committee itself does not disclose nominees.

“Back in November, Ukrainian lawmaker Alexander Morozko stated that he had nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, in June this year, he told a string of news outlets that he had withdrawn that nomination after discussions to halt the war in Ukraine stalled.” “So, first and foremost, the Nobel Committee does not confirm, nor does it publish the names of peace prize nominees. Under Nobel rules, nominations are kept secret for 50 years. So, there is no way for the public to actually know in real time who is nominated.”

Al Jazeera summarizes Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination status around the 2025 award: "As for Trump's prospects, nominations [for] the Nobel Prize closed January 31, shortly after his return to the White House." It lists some of the politicians who said they nominated him: "Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and leaders from Cambodia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan have publicly nominated him." The article discusses whether these nominations could lead to a win, noting skepticism among many observers.

A California congressman has put forward President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Republican Representative Darrell Issa, serving California’s 48th District, announced on X (formerly Twitter) Monday that he is nominating Trump for the Nobel Prize. The article points out that the cutoff for nominations for the 2025 Peace Prize was January 31, suggesting Issa’s nomination would count toward a future year’s award, not the 2025 prize.

An article on BBC’s YouTube channel describes public claims about Trump’s nomination: "Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu publicly whipped out a nomination letter at the White House; Azerbaijan's president told Trump in a news conference that he deserved the prize, and Pakistan's government announced it had nominated him." It also states that "among the nominees, of course, President Donald Trump" and includes video of a letter being presented to Trump: "The letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee, it's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved."

On October 10, 2025, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for her nonviolent struggle for democracy. Donald Trump, who had repeatedly touted his role in various peace negotiations and had attracted several public nominations from foreign leaders and U.S. politicians, was not selected. The video explains that the Nobel Committee does not release the full list of nominees, and its choice of Machado over Trump underscored its preference for grassroots human-rights activism rather than controversial great-power diplomacy.

“A US congressman has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after nearly two weeks of hostilities.” “In a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Republican congressman Earl ‘Buddy’ Carter nominated the US president for his ‘extraordinary and historic’ role in brokering the ceasefire between West Jerusalem and Tehran.”

The Hilltop article discusses the meaning of Trump’s nominations: "President Donald Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by world leaders including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July." It explains the nature of a nomination: "Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is not an official endorsement from the Nobel Committee. In fact, the committee has no say in who is nominated." The piece emphasizes that nominations can be made by eligible individuals and institutions, not by the committee itself.

Five individuals from Norway’s Nobel Committee will decide whether U.S. President Donald Trump will be awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. The committee received 338 nominations for 2025, but, in keeping with its rules, is not disclosing who is on the list. Nonetheless, leaders including Sudan’s emergency volunteers and Russian dissident Yulia Navalnaya are seen as contenders, alongside Trump, who has been publicly nominated by several heads of government.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan politician and opposition leader. The article notes that while the Nobel Committee maintains a 50-year confidentiality rule around nominations, it is known from public statements that figures such as Donald Trump were put forward by various nominators. However, the committee reiterated that Trump is not a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and that nominations do not confer any official status or recognition beyond being part of the confidential candidate pool.

The Guardian reports Pakistan’s plan to nominate Trump: "Pakistan has declared its intention to put forward Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his efforts in aiding the resolution of the recent tensions between India and Pakistan." It notes that governments can submit nominations: "Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize can be submitted by governments, and there was no immediate reaction from Washington."

The Nobel Peace Prize statutes state that the names of nominees and other information about nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years have passed. This means the Nobel Foundation does not publish any official list of people nominated in a given year. However, individuals or governments who submit nominations are free to disclose their own choices publicly, which is why there are frequent news reports about politicians such as Donald Trump being “nominated” even though the committee itself neither confirms nor denies these claims.
