Overview

• At a July 31 briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt enumerated six international conflicts she says Trump helped end, asserting he averages one peace deal per month.
• Senior adviser Peter Navarro told Fox Business he plans to push for Trump to receive both the Nobel Peace Prize and the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his trade policies.
• Pakistan’s government nominated Trump for the Peace Prize in late June, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a formal endorsement in early July.
• Critics warn that overt public campaigning by the White House risks politicizing the Nobel process, which traditionally keeps nominations confidential for 50 years.
• The administration’s high-profile lobbying marks its strongest effort yet to influence the Nobel Committee before its December decision.
