Washington, USA: Donald Trump Emerges as a Leading Contender for the Nobel Peace Prize

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is currently seen as one of the frontrunners for the highly esteemed Nobel Peace Prize, according to an article published by an American magazine. The report highlights that Trump’s chances of securing the honor are increasing steadily. This development has sparked celebration among Republican Party leaders, who are hopeful that their leader will finally claim the prestigious award.

As of March 5, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee has received 338 nominations for the year. Among them, 244 are individual nominees, while 94 represent organizations. The committee noted that this year's nomination count marks a noticeable increase compared to the previous year, when 286 individuals were nominated. Historically, four U.S. presidents have been recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize: Theodore Roosevelt (1906), Woodrow Wilson (1919), Jimmy Carter (2002), and Barack Obama (2009). Now, Trump and his supporters are eager to see him added to that list, which is why, according to the article, he has become more active on global issues.

Although Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize multiple times before, he has not succeeded in winning it so far. This year, however, the article suggests he stands a stronger chance, reportedly ahead of other notable nominees such as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

Trump’s involvement in initiatives such as facilitating peace dialogues between Israel and Hamas, and efforts to mediate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as his contributions to various charitable causes, are believed to have elevated his candidacy. The Nobel Peace Prize winners will be officially announced on October 10, with the awards ceremony scheduled for December 10 in Oslo, Norway.
