Overview

• The White House continues to lobby for President Trump to win the Nobel Prize in Economics for his tariff-driven overhaul of global trade and the Nobel Peace Prize for claimed ceasefire agreements.
• Trade adviser Peter Navarro told Fox Business that Trump’s tariff measures have “taught the world trade economics” and constitute a “fundamental restructuring” worthy of an economics Nobel.
• Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump brokered roughly one peace deal or ceasefire per month, fueling formal Peace Prize nominations from Republican lawmakers and the prime ministers of Israel and Pakistan.
• Nobel laureates Eric Maskin, Roger Myerson and William Nordhaus publicly rejected the economics nomination, stressing that the prize honors theoretical and empirical discoveries rather than policy actions.
• The Nobel Committees will issue their decisions in October under strict rules that prioritize academic breakthroughs or demonstrable peace achievements.
