US President Donald Trump stated on October 7 that he believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize but expressed doubt about actually receiving it. He claims his contributions include resolving eight conflicts since taking office, though critics point out ongoing or renewed fighting in several of these regions, such as Ukraine and Iran. Notably, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado had given her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump earlier this year, although there is no official confirmation that he has been nominated by any country's leaders.

Story summary
On October 7, US President Donald Trump made a strong push for the Nobel Peace Prize during an announcement regarding his "Trump Accounts" for children. Despite ongoing conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, Trump claimed he had settled eight wars, stating, “I did things that nobody else has ever done.” He also cited indirect support from opposition leader Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela, who presented him with her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal earlier this year after the US strikes against Venezuela. Although the Norwegian Nobel Committee is set to announce its decision on October 9, Trump expressed doubt about his chances but felt honored by the indirect recognition.
