Overview

• Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said on Fox News that First Lady Melania Trump should be considered for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, calling her “very instrumental” in Russia discussions and a potential key to a Ukraine peace deal.
• Melania Trump wrote a letter urging Vladimir Putin to protect children, which President Trump hand-delivered during Alaska meetings earlier this month, according to a copy provided by her office.
• Reporting on the Alaska talks says they yielded no breakthrough while Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities continued, including a Kyiv attack that killed at least 23 people, per the BBC.
• Allies say multiple governments and individuals have nominated President Trump for the 2025 prize, the award can be shared by up to three recipients, and the Nobel Committee is expected to announce the winner on October 10.
• Luna also repeated a disputed claim that hundreds of Cambodian monks nominated Trump, a statement some outlets characterized as misleading.
