Nobel Peace Prize 2025: Can Donald Trump win it?
At present, it seems that US President Donald Trump is the frontrunner to receive the Nobel Peace Prize 2025. Trump, who claims to have resolved multiple conflicts and end several wars, including the India-Pakistan skirmish in May, has also been nominated by several countries such as Israel, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Thailand and Cambodia for the coveted prize.
Trump, on multiple occasions, has also suggested that he should be honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize for "ending seven wars". "In just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars... They said they were unendable, some were going for 31 years, one was 36 years. I ended seven wars, and in all cases they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed," he said on Thursday.
