Nobel Peace Prize To Be Announced Friday In Oslo As Trump Push Draws Scrutiny

Experts expect the committee to prioritize humanitarian records over polarizing political bids.

Overview

  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee will reveal the 2025 Peace Prize on Friday at 11:00 a.m. local time in Oslo, with a live stream on the Nobel channels (3:00 a.m. Mexico City).
  • There are 338 recorded nominations this year, comprising 244 individuals and 94 organizations under a process kept confidential for 50 years.
  • President Donald Trump has publicly argued he deserves the prize following a U.S.-mediated IsraelHamas ceasefire phase, drawing endorsements from Benjamin Netanyahu and Argentina’s president Javier Milei.
  • Scholars cited in recent coverage say Trump is unlikely to win, noting the committee weighs lifetime adherence to cooperation, disarmament and human rights when assessing candidates.
  • Reported contenders discussed by media and analysts include Emergency Response Rooms Sudan, Yulia Navalnaya, UNRWA, Médecins Sans Frontières, Reporters Without Borders and Greta Thunberg, as Peace joins a Nobel week that has already named winners in Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Literature.
