Overview

  • The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced Friday at 11:00 a.m. in Oslo, with no clear favorite among 338 nominees.
  • Trump has intensified public claims that he ended seven or eight conflicts, but researchers say several assertions are partial or inaccurate and major wars in Gaza and Ukraine continue.
  • High-profile endorsements from Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan, Cambodia and U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter surfaced this year, yet nominations closed in January and official lists remain sealed for 50 years.
  • Nobel chair Jorgen Watne Frydnes says the panel evaluates concrete peace achievements and a candidate’s full record, an approach experts say weighs against Trump.
  • Recent chatter in Oslo highlights humanitarian and rights-focused possibilities such as Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, Yulia Navalnaya, UN bodies or press freedom groups, though the committee often surprises.
