Bernie Moreno wants Senate to call for Nobel Peace Prize to go to Trump
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, wants President Donald Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The lawmaker is introducing a resolution Wednesday that declares the U.S. Senate "calls on the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award President Donald John Trump the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize," "urges all peace-loving nations to join in that call" and "expresses its deepest appreciation to President Trump for bringing an end both to the nuclear program of Iran and hostilities related thereto in only 12 days." President Barack Obama was awarded the prize in 2009, less than one year after taking office. "Obama won the Nobel, then he killed hundreds of civilians and did nothing to stop Forever Wars," Moreno declared in a post on X. "Now President Trump did what neocons said couldn't be done—destroying Iran's nuclear facilities & securing a ceasefire. It's time to formally nominate him." Rep. Earl "Buddy" Carter, R-Ga., who is running for U.S. Senate, also nominated Trump for the award this week. In a nomination letter, the congressman said he was nominating Trump "in recognition of his extraordinary and historic role in brokering an end to the armed conflict between Israel and Iran and preventing the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet." "His leadership at this moment exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognize: the pursuit of peace, the prevention of war, and the advancement of international harmony," Carter's letter declared.

Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
A US congressman has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after nearly two weeks of hostilities. Trump announced the truce just days after the US conducted unprecedented airstrikes on Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear facilities. According to the US president, the sites have been 'completely and totally obliterated.' Tehran has denied that its facilities were destroyed, while flatly ruling out giving up its peaceful nuclear program. Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes shortly after Trump announced the tentative armistice on Tuesday afternoon. The US president resorted to obscenities while tearing into both sides for violating the ceasefire, saying 'they do not know what the f**k they are doing.' Israel has since backed down from further attacks, according to media reports. In a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Republican congressman Earl 'Buddy' Carter nominated the US president for his 'extraordinary and historic' role in brokering the ceasefire between West Jerusalem and Tehran. 'President Trump's influence was instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible,' the congressman wrote in the letter, according to a copy posted by Trump on Truth Social on Tuesday. 'Trump also took bold, decisive actions to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions,' Carter claimed. The US president's leadership currently 'exemplifies' the ideals of the Nobel Peace Prize, he concluded. Pakistan also formally nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize last week, citing his contribution to brokering an end to the Asian country's conflict with India, which flared up after a deadly terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in April. New Delhi has denied that it accepted any outside mediation.
