Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize but has doubts he will get it
On Wednesday, Donald Trump reiterated his belief that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, just two days before the Norwegian Nobel Committee announces the 2026 recipient in Oslo on Friday.
Trump asserts he should win the award "more than anyone else ever to have done so," citing his role settling eight conflicts between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Israel and Iran.
Venezuelan opposition leader Corina Machado gifted Trump her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal at the White House in January, a gesture Trump cites as justification despite rules prohibiting prize transfers.
Trump claims his peacemaking efforts are ongoing and will soon include "another one," even though there are no signs yet of meaningful progress in ceasefire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
Donald Trump once again defended this Wednesday that deserves to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, in a new claim made on the eve of the 2026 winner's announcement.
