Pakistan to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize over India-Pakistan ceasefire
Pakistan announced on Saturday its intention to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his role in ending the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Officials said Trump's intervention demonstrated the diplomatic foresight and political skill needed to defuse a rapidly escalating crisis. Some analysts in Pakistan suggest that this move could encourage Trump to reconsider any potential involvement with Israel in strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has strongly condemned Israeli attacks, describing them as violations of international law and threats to regional stability. In May, Trump's unexpected announcement of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Since then, Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for averting a nuclear war and saving millions of lives, while expressing frustration over the lack of recognition. While Pakistan credits US diplomatic efforts for halting the fighting, India maintains the ceasefire was the result of a bilateral agreement between its and Pakistan's militaries. Pakistan stated: 'President Trump showed remarkable strategic vision and exceptional political acumen through his strong diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, leading to the de-escalation of a rapidly deteriorating situation... This intervention stands as proof of his role as a true peacemaker.' Governments have the right to nominate individuals for the Nobel Peace Prize. So far, there has been no official response from Washington, and Indian government representatives did not reply to requests for comment.
