Fact check: Did trump get Nobel peace prize
1. Summary of the results
No, Donald Trump has not received the Nobel Peace Prize. However, multiple world leaders have nominated him for the award. Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet has officially nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize [1]. Additional nominations and expressions of support have come from leaders of Pakistan, Israel, Armenia, and Azerbaijan [2]. The presidents of Guinea-Bissau and Gabon have also made nominations, along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [3].
The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan specifically praised Trump for brokering a peace deal between their countries and proposed a joint nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize [4]. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate is scheduled to be announced on October 10, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee does not publicly confirm nominees [2].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The original question lacks important context about Trump's long-standing desire to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and his history of complaints about not receiving it [3] [5]. There has been opposition to his nomination - notably, a Ukrainian lawmaker withdrew their nomination of Trump, citing a lack of faith in Trump's ability to secure a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv [6].
The nomination process itself provides crucial context: the Nobel Peace Prize requires specific qualified nominators and is decided by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, not simply awarded based on public support [7]. Multiple world leaders supporting Trump's nomination represents significant international backing, but this does not guarantee he will receive the award.
Political motivations may influence these nominations, as world leaders who have nominated Trump - including those from Cambodia, Pakistan, Israel, Armenia, and Azerbaijan - may benefit from maintaining favorable relationships with the former and current U.S. President.
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original question "Did trump get Nobel peace prize" could be misleading if interpreted as implying Trump has already received the award. The phrasing suggests a completed action rather than an ongoing nomination process. This framing might contribute to confusion about Trump's actual status regarding the Nobel Peace Prize.
The question also lacks specificity about which year or which peace efforts are being referenced, as Trump has been nominated multiple times for different diplomatic achievements, including Middle East peace efforts and the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal [2] [4].
