  "account": "On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump asserted that he is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize but expressed uncertainty about his chances. The Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce the 2026 award on Friday, and Trump acknowledged that the committee may not consider nominating him. Since his return to the White House last year, Trump has repeatedly claimed that he deserves this prestigious award.\n\nIn an Oval Office meeting with reporters, Trump expressed his honor at receiving an indirect nod from the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. She presented Trump with her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal in January, stating that no one in history deserves it more than the US president.\n\nTrump claimed to have entered eight conflicts since taking office last January. The leaders of Cambodia, Israel, and Pakistan reportedly nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, although the veracity of these claims remains unverified. Some parties involved in the conflicts Trump claims to have resolved dispute his diplomatic contributions, and fighting has resurged in several regions, including the Democratic Republic of Congo and the border between Cambodia and Thailand.\n\nHowever, Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine have been unsuccessful. He had promised to resolve the conflict on the first day of his second term in office. The US and Israel's strikes on Iran have led to a seven-month-long conflict, disrupting global energy supplies and causing gas prices to soar before the November midterm elections.\n\nAmong the favorites to win this year's Nobel Peace Prize are Pope Leo, the International Criminal Court, and the special rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories.",
