Overview

• The Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce the 2025 Peace Prize winner on Friday at 11:00 a.m. in Oslo.
• Pressed on his prospects, President Trump said he has "no idea" if he will win and repeated claims of "seven wars" settled, including an India–Pakistan ceasefire that New Delhi disputes.
• The Nobel Committee told Newsweek it has not removed or disqualified Trump, stressing that nominees and nominators remain secret for 50 years.
• Public endorsements for Trump from figures such as Benjamin Netanyahu and the governments of Pakistan and Cambodia were touted this year, but nominations submitted after January 31 apply to the 2026 cycle.
• Nobel watchers and scholars expect Trump not to win this year, betting odds are low, and suggested contenders include Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, Yulia Navalnaya, and UN-affiliated bodies.
