Overview

  • Rep. Darrell Issa announced his nomination of President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, emphasizing Trump's advocacy for 'peace through strength.'
  • Issa highlighted Trump's role in the Abraham Accords, describing them as the most significant Middle East peace agreements in decades.
  • The congressman also pointed to Trump's recent initiatives to broker peace in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, though these efforts have faced scrutiny and mixed reactions globally.
  • Critics argue Trump's foreign policy actions, including controversial proposals in Gaza and strained relations with Ukraine, undermine his eligibility for the prize.
  • Nominations for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize closed on January 31, meaning Issa's submission will likely be considered for the 2026 award.
