Pakistan nominates Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

Pakistan has said it will nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping resolve the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.

The move, announced on Saturday, came as the US president is considering joining Israel in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities.

"President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which defused a rapidly deteriorating situation," Pakistan said in a statement. "This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a true peacemaker."

Governments can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize. An Indian government spokesman did not respond to a request for comment from The Guardian.

In May, a surprise announcement by Trump of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between nuclear-armed foes India and Pakistan. Trump has since repeatedly said he prevented a nuclear war, saved millions of lives, and complained that he got no credit for it.

Pakistan agrees that U.S. diplomatic intervention ended the fighting, but India says it was a bilateral agreement between the two militaries. In a phone call with Trump last week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it "absolutely clear" that hostilities ceased only after Pakistan requested a ceasefire and that there was no mediation by a third party, India's foreign secretary, Vikram Misri, said.

In a social media post on Friday, Trump gave a long list of conflicts he said he had resolved, including India and Pakistan and the Abraham Accords in his first term between Israel and several Muslim-majority countries.

He added: "No, I will not receive a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Iran, whatever those results are, but people know and that's all that matters to me!"

Pakistan's decision to nominate Trump came the same week that its army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, met the American leader for lunch. It was the first time a Pakistani military leader had been invited to the White House while a civilian government was in power in Islamabad.

Mushahid Hussain, a former chairman of the senate defense committee in Pakistan's parliament, suggested that Trump's nomination for the peace prize was justified.

"Trump is good for Pakistan," he said. "If that pleases Trump's ego, so be it. All the European leaders have teased him a lot."

But the move was not universally applauded in Pakistan, where Trump's support for Israel's war in Gaza has inflamed tensions.

"Israel's sweet father in Gaza and supporter of its attacks on Iran is not a candidate for any award," Talat Hussain, a prominent host of a Pakistani television political talk show, said in a post on X.
