Overview

• World leaders, senior legislators and the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe have filed nominations for President Trump, bringing his total to at least a dozen before the September deadline.
• On July 7, Benjamin Netanyahu personally delivered a nomination letter praising Trump’s Middle East mediation and Trump subsequently eased U.S. pressure on Israel for a Gaza-Hamas ceasefire.
• African leaders led by Gabon’s President Brice Oligui Nguema credited Trump with brokering the Rwanda–DRC peace deal and added their endorsements during a White House summit.
• Supporters cite the Abraham Accords, an India–Pakistan truce and other diplomatic initiatives as evidence of Trump’s peacemaking record, while critics argue the nominations exploit his ego and obscure his divisive policies.
• The Norwegian Nobel Committee will select a laureate from a record field of candidates, conducting deliberations in strict confidence with results sealed for 50 years.
