Will Trump be awarded Nobel Peace Prize soon? Experts doubtful despite Trump’s claim of deserving it.

Donald Trump's Nobel Peace Prize Chances Uncertain

The Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced on Friday. Donald Trump and his administration have been vocal about their belief that the US president deserves the award.

Trump has campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize since his first term, claiming he deserves it. After progress in his peace plan between Israel and Hamas, calls for him to receive the prize have emerged.

Trump has claimed credit for ending multiple wars, stating he has stopped six to seven wars. Experts note a distinction between stopping fighting and resolving conflict root causes.

Over 10 nominations for Trump have been made by various individuals, including Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and a Ukrainian politician. However, nominations do not guarantee candidacy.

Experts suggest that pressuring Russia to end the war in Ukraine or Israel to stop the conflict in Gaza could make Trump a viable candidate. The recent progress in Gaza may have come too late for this year's decision.

Critics argue that Trump's actions, such as withdrawing from international agreements and proposing measures affecting education and research, do not align with the Nobel Peace Prize's values.

The Nobel committee shortlists candidates based on nominations and external consultations. Trump's deployment of troops and controversial policies have raised concerns about his candidacy.

Past US presidents who won the Nobel Peace Prize did so while in office. Bookmakers consider Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and humanitarian organizations as potential frontrunners for this year's award.

The committee could also consider awarding the prize to UN institutions, humanitarian organizations, or local mediators involved in conflict resolution efforts.
