Overview

• Rep. Buddy Carter formally nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran following 12 days of conflict.
• The ceasefire agreement has proven fragile, with Israeli officials accusing Iran of violations that Tehran denies.
• Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Merezhko withdrew his earlier nomination in protest of Trump’s perceived inaction on the Russia-Ukraine war.
• Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry retracted its endorsement after Trump ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, condemning the military action as deeply disturbing.
• The Norwegian Nobel Committee has not yet ruled on Trump’s bid, and he remains one of hundreds of candidates under consideration.
