Could Donald Trump soon be adding “Nobel Peace Prize winner” to his résumé? Pakistan certainly thinks so.
Islamabad just announced it’s nominating the former U.S. president for the prestigious award.
It claims his “decisive diplomatic intervention” helped defuse last month’s flare-up between India and Pakistan.
In a post on X, Pakistan hailed Trump’s “stellar statesmanship,” saying his efforts “de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.”
Critics Push Back
India flat-out denies that the U.S. played any role in brokering the ceasefire—and has made it clear it doesn’t want outside help.
Trump, never shy about his Nobel ambitions, had already claimed credit, saying he leaned on both sides with the promise of U.S. trade deals.
“Come on,” he told reporters, “we’re going to do a lot of trade. Let’s stop it.”
Some in Pakistan are thrilled. “Trump is good for Pakistan,” said Mushahid Hussain, a prominent senator.
Others, like former ambassador Maleeha Lodhi, called the move “unfortunate,” slamming Trump’s support of Israel’s war in Gaza.
Trump himself isn’t holding his breath. “No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do,” he posted on Truth Social.
Still, for a man who’s called for Obama’s Nobel to be revoked, the irony isn’t lost on anyone.
