WASHINGTON, D.C., June 21, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim to the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his administration's diplomatic interventions in multiple global conflicts, including the recently brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
Speaking to reporters, President Trump asserted that his efforts in de-escalating tensions in South Asia were underappreciated, stating, “You should give me the Peace Prize for… the big one is India and Pakistan. But they only give Peace Prizes to liberals. I did a very great job with India and Pakistan. I’m also working on a trade deal with them — beautiful things to watch.”
Trump also referenced other major diplomatic accomplishments under his leadership, including the Abraham Accords, the peace agreement between Serbia and Kosovo, and efforts to ease tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia.
In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, the President announced what he described as a major diplomatic breakthrough: a peace treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda. “I am very happy to report that I have arranged, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda. This war, marked by decades of violent bloodshed, is finally seeing resolution,” he stated.
Despite listing these achievements, Trump lamented what he perceives as a political bias within the Nobel Committee. “I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, or for stopping the war between India and Pakistan, or Serbia and Kosovo, or for the Abraham Accords. Even if we resolve Ukraine-Russia or Israel-Iran — I still won’t get it. But the people know, and that’s all that matters to me,” he said.
Pakistan Formally Nominates Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
The remarks come in the wake of Pakistan’s formal nomination of President Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic engagement and leadership” during the recent crisis with India. Islamabad credited Trump’s back-channel diplomacy for facilitating the May 10 ceasefire, calling it a pivotal moment for regional stability and peace.
However, India has firmly denied any foreign role in the ceasefire process. In a phone conversation with President Trump on June 17, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that the truce was achieved solely through direct military-to-military communications between India and Pakistan.
Reiterating this position, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated, “India has never accepted, and will never accept, third-party mediation in matters relating to its national security and bilateral relations with Pakistan.”
