Will Nobel Peace Prize pick make waves at the White House?

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be announced on Friday at the Nobel Institute in Oslo, with the United States President Donald Trump closely monitoring the development. This year, 287 individuals and organizations have been nominated for the prestigious award, amid a world beset by conflicts and crises. The identities of the nominees remain concealed for a period of 50 years, sparking speculation among Nobel watchers.

Despite his unsubstantiated claims of ending up to eight wars, President Trump insists that he is the most deserving candidate for the highly esteemed prize. In a statement on Wednesday, he remarked, "And I'm not saying that out of scorn." However, the experts unanimously agree that Trump will not be the recipient, primarily due to his military interventions, including the conflict in Iran, and his territorial ambitions in Greenland.

The US president is generally regarded as ineligible for the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, owing to his contentious military actions and geopolitical posturing. Nonetheless, the world eagerly awaits the unveiling of the winner, who will be honored at a ceremony commencing at 11:00 am (0900 GMT).
