Overview

  • Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev agreed on August 8 to jointly nominate President Trump after signing a peace accord at the White House.
  • Cambodia officially nominated Trump on August 7, crediting his July 26 phone call and threatened U.S. tariffs for brokering a ceasefire that ended five days of clashes with Thailand.
  • Earlier nominations from Pakistan in June and Israel in July cited his mediation efforts in easing India-Pakistan and Middle East tensions.
  • Trump’s approach combined high-level diplomacy with threats of reciprocal tariffs of up to 49 percent on imports to secure multiple truce agreements.
  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee sets its candidate list by January 31 and keeps nominations confidential until 50 years later.
