Map of Countries That Have Nominated Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump has been publicly backed for the Nobel Peace Prize by the leaders of multiple countries following a series of high-profile diplomatic engagements hosted at the White House and elsewhere, while his allies in Washington and abroad submit nominations on his behalf. Why It Matters The Nobel Peace Prize award is among the world's most prominent international honors and hasn't been won by a Republican U.S. president since Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. While these recent endorsements underscore the prize's global profile, several of the governments backing Trump's nomination—including Rwanda, Israel, Gabon, Azerbaijan, and Cambodia—are led by authoritarian figures, military juntas, or leaders facing international arrest warrants. Such factors could complicate the symbolism of their support for the U.S. leader.

More Andrew Harnik//AP Photo What To Know Which Countries Have Nominated Trump and Why? Pakistan announced on June 20 it would nominate Trump after diplomatic interactions during a May conflict between India and Pakistan that ended in a ceasefire; the Pakistan government described the nomination as recognizing his "decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented Trump with a letter he said he had sent to the Nobel Committee nominating the president for the prize during a White House visit in July. On August 7, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet announced that he nominated Trump after a July ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand that ended a five-day long clash between Thai and Cambodian forces at their long disputed border in July. The skirmish left more than 40 people dead on both sides and forced some 300,000 to flee. "[Trump's] consistent pursuit of peace through diplomacy aligns perfectly with Alfred Nobel's vision, honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to international fraternity and the advancement of peace," said Manet. Armenia and Azerbaijan publicly signaled support for a Nobel nomination for Trump after a White House summit on August 8 that culminated in a joint agreement between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Both leaders praised the U.S.-hosted framework and said they would back a nomination. "I think President Trump deserved to have the Nobel Peace Prize," Pashinyan said at the White House, "and we will defend that, we will promote for that." Newsweek emailed Pashinyan's press office for comment as well as the office of the Azerbaijani president. Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe and Gabonese President Brice Oligui Nguema have also both publicly endorsed the idea of awarding Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in helping to end a decades-long conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In an interview with Breitbart News, Nduhungirehe said, "Anyone, including President Trump, who would help sizably to bring this conflict to an end deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Absolutely." Similarly, Nguema praised Trump's efforts in central Africa: "He is now bringing peace back to a region where that was never possible so I believe that he does deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. That is my opinion." Newsweek emailed the Rwandan foreign ministry for comment, and also the Gabonese government via an online form. Other Nominations Republican Representative Buddy Carter of Georgia said he submitted a letter nominating Trump for actions tied to a June ceasefire framework between Israel and Iran, according to reporting. His House colleague Claudia Tenney, a New York Republican, revealed earlier this year she had nominated Trump twice, and planned to do keep doing so until he gets the prize. "He has done more for world peace than any modern leader," she wrote on X. Republican Senators Bernie Moreno of Ohio and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee have also called on the president to be nominated. Norwegian law professor Anta Alon-Beck said she had nominated Trump in early February, for his efforts to secure a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza. How Many U.S. Presidents Have Won the Nobel Peace Prize? Four U.S. presidents have received Nobel Peace Prizes: Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, Woodrow Wilson in 1919 for founding the League of Nations, Jimmy Carter in 2002 for postpresidential humanitarian and diplomatic work through the Carter Center, and Barack Obama in 2009 for his early-term diplomacy and coalition-building efforts. Multiple other U.S. officials have been awarded the prize too. Former Vice President Al Gore shared the prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007, "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." Another vice president, Charles Dawes, won the award in 1925 for his work on the Dawes Plan to stabilize Europe after WWI. Four secretaries of state have also been Nobel Peace Prize laureates: Elihu Root, Frank B. Kellogg, George C. Marshall, and Henry Kissinger. What People Are Saying President Donald Trump said: "I've stopped six wars—I'm averaging about a war a month." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: "It is well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." John Bolton, former national security adviser to Trump, said in an interview on ABC: "I don't think what [Trump] has done materially changes the situations in any of those circumstances or several others he's mentioned … I think what Trump has done is make it clear that he wants a Nobel Peace Prize more than anything else. And the way to his heart, as Pakistani chief of staff [Asim] Munir found and Netanyahu found, is offer to nominate him." What Happens Next The deadline for nominations for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize closed on January 31, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee will not publicly confirm nominees; the 2025 laureate was scheduled to be announced on October 10, while the committee's official candidate list will remain sealed for 50 years. Meanwhile, as Trump has renewed diplomatic outreach—initiating high-level talks, proposing ceasefire plans, dispatching envois, and arranging a summit with Putin—his efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war remain unfulfilled.

Appeals court lets the White House suspend or end billions in foreign aid
WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided panel of appeals court judges ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration can suspend or terminate billions of dollars of congressionally appropriated funding for foreign aid. Two of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit concluded that grant recipients challenging the freeze did not meet the requirements for a preliminary injunction restoring the flow of money. In January, on the first day of his second term in the White House, Republican President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to freeze spending on foreign aid. After groups of grant recipients sued to challenge that order, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ordered the administration to release the full amount of foreign assistance that Congress had appropriated for the 2024 budget year. The appeal court's majority partially vacated Ali's order. Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson and Gregory Katsas concluded that the plaintiffs did not have a valid legal basis for the court to hear their claims. The ruling was not on the merits of whether the government unconstitutionally infringed on Congress' spending powers. 'The parties also dispute the scope of the district court's remedy but we need not resolve it ... because the grantees have failed to satisfy the requirements for a preliminary injunction in any event,' Henderson wrote. Judge Florence Pan, who dissented, said the Supreme Court has held 'in no uncertain terms' that the president does not have the authority to disobey laws for policy reasons. 'Yet that is what the majority enables today,' Pan wrote. 'The majority opinion thus misconstrues the separation-of-powers claim brought by the grantees, misapplies precedent, and allows Executive Branch officials to evade judicial review of constitutionally impermissible actions.' The money at issue includes nearly $4 billion for USAID to spend on global health programs and more than $6 billion for HIV and AIDS programs. Trump has portrayed the foreign aid as wasteful spending that does not align with his foreign policy goals. Henderson was nominated to the court by Republican President George H.W. Bush. Katsas was nominated by Trump. Pan was nominated by Democratic President Joe Biden.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth' is the perfect metaphor for Mamdani's socialism
' Jurassic World Rebirth ' is the perfect metaphor for Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign. The New York City Democratic mayoral nominee and Democratic socialist Mamdani is enthralled with the dinosaur that is socialism. He wants to take New Yorkers to a place where the dinosaur will roam free. Despite all previous visitors having been devoured, Mamdani promises he can do it right. What could go wrong? Socialism is undisputedly a dinosaur. Dressed up as new and avant garde, it goes back centuries in Europe. In the 1820s America had socialist Owenite communes; even its now standard Marxist variant is a product of the late 19th century. It's not timeless; it's Jurassic-age technology. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' where the dinosaurs live, is a place people should not go. The movie explicitly tells us this. We moviegoers know all too well why: Dinosaurs devour people. Whatever their rationale, dinosaur projects always fail. Always. Yet, filled with humanity's hubris (and that is what the 'Jurassic' movies are about), each new group imagines it holds the key: Dinosaurs can be lived with. We will all be better for it. And each new group is wrong. The movie's cast is young and attractive; after all, hunting dinosaurs is a young person's game — at least when the dinosaurs are breathing and not merely bones. There's a young woman, a young male professor, a father, children scattered from teen to 'tween,' some locals for color and a corporate executive, for greed. Like the movie, Mamdani's attempt at socialism features stock characters. Through all runs the thread of passion — and anger, always anger: clenched fists thrust upward, clenched jaws thrust forward. All represent far more than they actually are. Of course, Mamdani is the lead: young, earnest, with a beard that adds just the touch of gravitas, while maintaining the millennial vibe. An accomplished actor, Mamdani began his career auditioning as a Black student for a role at Columbia University. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is the femme fatale, just a beret short of Che. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) brings the tousle-haired head of experience, an avuncular mentor and guide. Although he has never been to where he professes to take his followers, the others don't doubt he knows the way. And there are ensemble characters. The Squad, not intended to be closely scrutinized, communicate by their presence. They look so right for right now, how could they be wrong? The movie's location is exotically tropical — an island just offshore of Suriname and next door to Guyana, which by coincidence is where another American, Jim Jones, failed to establish a socialist utopia half a century ago. Mamdani socialism's intended location is New York City. Here, in the words of Frank Sinatra, it is looking to 'make a brand-new start of it.' If socialism can 'make it there,' it can 'make it anywhere.' As for the movie's plot, no spoiler alert is needed. If you've seen one of the earlier versions you know what happens here. It's a good romp, but suffice it to say, people get eaten. The same applies to Mamdani's socialism's plot: If you've seen one attempt, you've seen them all. People will get 'eaten' here too — lots and lots and lots of them. Everything will come crashing down at the end, or it will die with a whimper. Socialism has many routes to its coda, but always the same one: failure. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' offers a new cast, higher production costs, better special effects and an updated plot. Mamdani's socialist project offers the same. He brings with him a cast of mostly young, new faces dressing up the old premise that you can somehow get something for nothing — housing, free bus rides, government-run grocery stores and childcare. His New York special effects are new to the U.S., and if he gets his hands on the city's budget, his production costs will be massively larger than any other American socialism project before it. 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is a summer blockbuster. People are lining up to see it. People are also crowding to see Mamdani's socialism project. And if he wins the mayoral race, they will be lining up too, only then, to get out. J.T. Young is the author of 'Unprecedented Assault: How Big Government Unleashed America's Socialist Left.' He has over three decades' experience working in Congress, the Department of Treasury, the Office of Management, and Budget, and representing a Fortune 20 company.
