Donald Trump Nominated For A Nobel Peace Prize

Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize after allegedly helping to solidify a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

The nomination was reportedly submitted by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and he is also a chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Christian Tybring-Gjedde said on the nomination,

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees.”

In his letter to the Nobel Committee, Christian Tybring-Gjedde wrote,

“As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game-changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,”

Christian Tybring-Gjedde has also highlighted Donald Trump’s role in starting contact between two conflicting parties.  Stating that Donald Trump was able to resolve conflicts such as; the Kashmir border feud between India and Pakistan, and North and South Korea’s conflicts.

Adding,

“Indeed, Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict. The last president to avoid doing so was Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter.”

Christian Tybring-Gjedde also nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018.  In total, 21 Americans have received the prestigious nomination, including President Barack Obama in 2009.
