President Donald Trump claimed he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize despite ongoing conflicts under his leadership, including wars with Iran and a lack of resolution in Ukraine. He expressed uncertainty about winning, noting that previous recipients have not included individuals like himself. While some leaders, such as those from Cambodia, Israel, and Pakistan, purportedly nominated him, critics argue that Trump’s involvement has often escalated rather than resolved conflicts.

Story summary
On October 7, Donald Trump reiterated his call for the Nobel Peace Prize committee to award him the prize, despite having waged war with Iran and not brokering peace in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters at an announcement about his "Trump accounts" for children, Trump claimed he had settled eight wars, a feat no other president has achieved according to him. He acknowledged uncertainty over whether the Norwegian Nobel Committee would select him but noted that Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado had given her 2025 prize to him earlier this year, stating nobody in history deserved it more than President Trump. The committee's decision for the 2026 award is set to be announced on October 9.
