Trump Jockeys for Nobel Peace Prize

August 13, 2025 · 5:22 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“President Trump is raking up global support in his push for a Nobel Peace Prize — garnering nominations from Pakistan, Cambodia, Israel and GOP lawmakers as he touts his role in talks to end various global conflicts,” The Hill reports.

“Friday may be Trump’s biggest diplomatic test yet when he sits down with Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk about ending the war in Ukraine, something the president has struggled to settle between the two adversaries.”

Said a former aide: “There’s no question the pressure’s on. Trump sees this prize as the ultimate capstone to how history will remember him.”
