Story summary

On October 7, US President Donald Trump reiterated his call for the Nobel Prize committee to award him the Peace Prize, emphasizing his efforts in settling what he claims are eight wars. Speaking at an announcement regarding "Trump Accounts," a new type of tax-advantaged investment and retirement savings accounts for American children, Trump asserted that no president has ever settled any wars, suggesting he deserves recognition. Despite his assertions, there is skepticism about the validity of his claims due to ongoing conflicts such as those in Iran, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Additionally, Trump received indirect support from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who gave him her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal, citing that he deserved it more than she did. The Norwegian Nobel Committee is set to announce its decision on the prize later in October.
