White House Braces for Another Nobel Peace Prize Snub as Trump Eyes Two Moves
Trump cited eight wars, Machado’s medal gift and 287 nominees as he pressed his case days before the Nobel Peace Prize announcement.
- On Wednesday, Donald Trump reiterated his belief that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, just two days before the Norwegian Nobel Committee announces the 2026 recipient in Oslo on Friday.
- Trump asserts he should win the award "more than anyone else ever to have done so," citing his role settling eight conflicts between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Israel and Iran.
- Venezuelan opposition leader Corina Machado gifted Trump her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal at the White House in January, a gesture Trump cites as justification despite rules prohibiting prize transfers.
- Independent fact-checkers have questioned the validity of Trump's assertions, while the Norwegian Nobel Institute keeps candidate lists confidential for 50 years, making external verification impossible.
- Trump claims his peacemaking efforts are ongoing and will soon include "another one," even though there are no signs yet of meaningful progress in ceasefire negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
