Washington/Islamabad: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again voiced his dissatisfaction over being overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming that despite his significant efforts to bring peace across the globe, he is unlikely to ever receive the coveted honor. In a passionate post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump outlined the peace initiatives he has led, from halting potential wars to brokering historic accords—yet lamented the lack of recognition from the Nobel committee.
In a striking statement, Trump wrote, “I negotiated peace between Congo and Rwanda, prevented war between India and Pakistan, brought peace between Serbia and Kosovo, halted tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia, and facilitated the Abraham Accords in the Middle East. Still, I won’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Trump went further, asserting that even if he resolved ongoing global conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war or tensions between Israel and Iran, he still wouldn’t be acknowledged. “People know what I have done. That’s enough for me,” he added.
Pakistan Formally Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
In a surprising move, reports indicate that Pakistan has formally nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination reportedly follows a meeting between Trump and Pakistan’s top military officials at the White House. Pakistan’s move has drawn attention globally, adding another layer to the ongoing debate over the credibility and selection process of the Nobel Prize.
According to diplomatic sources, the Pakistani military chief, during his recent visit to Washington, supported Trump’s nomination. The development is being seen as a rare show of endorsement by Pakistan for a former American president, especially in the context of historical U.S.-Pakistan relations.

Criticism of U.S. Intelligence Over Iran
Meanwhile, Trump also made headlines by challenging the findings of his own country’s intelligence agencies. Responding to a journalist’s question about Iran’s nuclear program, Trump claimed that the U.S. intelligence community was “wrong.”
This remark was triggered by a reference to a statement made earlier this year by former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. She had cited U.S. intelligence reports stating that Iran had not made any decision to develop nuclear weapons. Trump, however, dismissed both Gabbard’s remarks and the intelligence assessment, saying bluntly, “They’re wrong.”
The former president’s skepticism toward the U.S. intelligence community is not new and has been a consistent theme throughout his political career.
Global Reactions & Debate on Nobel Relevance
Trump’s latest comments come amid renewed global discussions about the relevance, transparency, and fairness of the Nobel Peace Prize. Critics have long questioned the Nobel Committee’s criteria, especially as several peace-brokering political leaders have been ignored, while others with controversial legacies have been awarded.
The timing of Trump’s statement coincides with the Nobel season, when nominations and speculations dominate global media. His claim of achieving peace across volatile regions is likely to reignite debates about whether the Nobel Peace Prize truly reflects the global impact of leadership.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Norwegian Nobel Committee about Trump’s nomination or any shortlisting. However, with Pakistan stepping in as a nominating party, the discourse around Trump and the Nobel Prize is likely to intensify in the weeks to come.
