Trump Says Nobel Committee Will Likely Snub Him
U.S. President Donald Trump has played down his chances of winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, saying the committee will “find a reason not to give it to me.” Asked about his prospects, he replied he had “no idea,” but insisted his record on peace deserved recognition.
Claim Over Peace Efforts
Trump pointed to his role in facilitating the first-phase ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, describing it as proof of his contributions to global peace. He has repeatedly argued that his foreign policy achievements justify Nobel consideration.
Expert Reactions
Analysts note that the Nobel Peace Prize is generally awarded for sustained and long-term peace initiatives rather than short-term or politically charged deals. They suggest Trump’s outspoken campaigning for the award could weaken his case in the eyes of the committee.
Decision Pending in Oslo
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 10, 2025. While speculation continues, most observers believe Trump faces an uphill battle for the prize, with stronger contenders in the running.
