🔴Nobel Prize in Literature awarded to Canada’s Anne Carson

President Donald Trump has once again declared his candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming he has helped "settle" eight wars and "done stuff that nobody else has ever done." This assertion comes as the Norwegian Nobel Committee prepares to announce its annual award. Since his return to the White House last year, Trump has repeatedly stated that he deserves the prestigious award.

At the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump claimed that no president has ever settled wars as he has, adding that he had "done far more" than others. He also noted that Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado had given him her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal during their meeting in January, expressing his gratitude for the recognition.

Trump argued that the Nobel Committee would discredit itself by not honoring him, stating that he has settled eight wars, a claim that has been disputed. Among the conflicts he mentioned are Israel-Hamas, Israel-Iran, Egypt-Ethiopia, India-Pakistan, Serbia-Kosovo, Rwanda-Congo, Armenia-Azerbaijan, and Cambodia-Thailand. However, several of these disputes remain unresolved, and some of Trump's claims have been rejected or disputed.

Experts believe Trump's chances of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize are slim, citing his ongoing conflict with Iran, territorial ambitions, and criticisms of international cooperation bodies and the media.
