He’s the bookies’ favourite
The world is a pretty mental place right now, and nothing is more indicative of that than Donald Trump being the frontrunner for one of humanity’s most prestigious awards, the Nobel Peace Prize.
First established in 1895 and first awarded in 1901, the Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five awards established by the will of Swede Alfred Nobel, which rewards people and groups for progressing humanity.
The categories are in Peace, Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature.
The rumours have been swirling for some time that Trump could have a rather sizeable foot in the door for the award, notably after being nominated by multiple world leaders, credited with ending at least seven wars.
These include Hun Manet and Government of Cambodia, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Government of Israel, and Asim Munir and the Government of Pakistan.
Cambodia nominated Trump “for his crucial role in restoring peace and stability at the border between Thailand and Cambodia”.Pakistan put his name forward for “his attempts to de-escalate the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, seeking a resolution through dialogue and backchannel diplomacy, while emphasizing the principles of restraint, regional stability, and the prevention of armed escalation, despite India’s stated refusal of third-party mediation and its insistence on bilateral engagement”.
