US President Donald Trump has renewed his bid for the Nobel Peace Prize , saying he has helped “settle” eight wars and “done stuff that nobody else has ever done” ahead of Friday’s announcement by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
India, for example, has rejected Trump’s claim that the US played a role in brokering the India-Pakistan ceasefire.
The ministry of external affairs said there was no “third-party mediation” during Operation Sindoor and that the decision to halt military action was reached directly between India and Pakistan. Earlier reporting noted: Since his return to the White House last year, Trump has repeatedly said he deserves what may be the world’s most prestigious award. Earlier reporting noted: “I don’t know what their decision is going to be,” Trump said of the 2026 award, which the Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce on Friday. “They have a reputation for maybe not giving it to people like me.”
Earlier reporting noted: US President Donald Trump, who waged war with Iran and has yet to broker peace in Ukraine, said on Wednesday that he should win the Nobel Peace Prize but acknowledged doubt about his chances.
“I’ve done stuff that nobody else has ever done. I’m not bragging, I’m just telling you the facts. No president has probably ever settled any wars. This appeared to refer to the US-Iran war, which has now entered its eighth month. “I was very honoured to receive it indirectly.
Notably, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado handed her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump in January while seeking US support for her efforts in Venezuela. Trump said he was more deserving of the award than former President Barack Obama , claiming that Obama himself did not know why he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
Since returning to the White House last year, Trump has repeatedly said he deserves what is considered one of the world’s most prestigious awards. I settled eight wars,” he told reporters. The US President said his efforts to broker peace were ongoing and added he was working towards resolving another conflict. “Last time they gave it to a young lady who’s a fabulous person, and she said she didn’t deserve it, that I deserved it, and she gave it to me,” the US President said. Last time by the recipient, who said nobody in history deserves it more than President Trump,” he said.
