Donald Trump Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize Ahead Of Presidential Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated for Nobel Peace price after assisting brokering a deal between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel.

According to recent reports, the nomination has been submitted by the chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and a member of the Norwegian Parliament, Christian Tybring-Gjedde.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde said in a statement to the media.

Tybring-Gjedde sent a letter to the Nobel Committee that emphasized how the Trump administration played an important role in establishing peaceful relations between Israel and the Emirates.

“As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game-changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,” he is said to have written in his letter to the committee.

He lauded the president for playing a key role in facilitating contact between countries that have a dispute with each other, such as the Kashmir border dispute between Pakistan and India and the ongoing conflict between North Korea and South Korea.

Tybring-Gjedde also appreciated POTUS for withdrawing troops from the Middle East.

“Indeed, Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict. The last president to avoid doing so was Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter,” he wrote in his letter.

According to reports, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has also nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize after receiving a request from the Trump administration.
