Quick Summary

US President Donald Trump stated that he believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize despite having not brokered significant peace agreements like those between Ukraine and Russia or resolving tensions with Iran. During a press conference at the Oval Office, Trump expressed doubt about receiving the award, noting that past recipients may have indirectly acknowledged his worthiness. The Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce its decision for the 2026 prize on Friday.

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.
