Overview

  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce the 2025 Peace Prize on Friday at 11:00 a.m. in Oslo (0900 GMT).
  • Officials say 338 candidates were nominated this year and reaffirm that nominations are confidential for 50 years.
  • The committee denied viral claims that President Trump was removed or disqualified, calling such reports false.
  • Trump has promoted his case by claiming to have ended seven or eight conflicts, a narrative scholars and reporters describe as exaggerated as major wars in Gaza and Ukraine continue.
  • Public nominations and endorsements include Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, the governments of Pakistan and Cambodia, and U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, though experts note some reported filings came after the January deadline and would not affect this year’s prize.
