Fact check: How many Nobel Peace Prize nominations did Trump receive in 2024?

Checked on October 9, 2025

Executive Summary

Donald Trump’s exact count of Nobel Peace Prize nominations in 2024 is not provided in the available reporting; none of the supplied sources state a specific number for 2024, and coverage instead references recent nominations tied to post-2024 developments or aggregated totals across multiple years. Multiple pieces note a formal nomination related to an Israel-Iran cease-fire and cite at least ten nominations since 2018, but the material at hand does not document a discrete 2024 nomination count [1] [2].

1. Why the question about 2024 nominations keeps coming up—and what the files actually say

Reporting reviewed repeatedly focuses on Trump’s pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize and individual nominations linked to high-profile diplomatic moments, rather than a tidy tally for a single year. One June 2025 story reports a formal nomination for efforts tied to an Israel-Iran cease-fire without specifying whether that nomination was recorded as a 2024 submission or a 2025 nomination submitted after events that took place later [1]. Another July 2025 piece frames Trump as having received “at least 10” nominations since 2018, which provides longitudinal context but not a year-by-year breakdown that would isolate 2024 [2].

2. Multiple outlets highlight nominations but stop short of a 2024 total

Subsequent reporting from September 2025 reiterates Trump's ongoing campaign for the prize and the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s proclaimed independence, but these articles do not enumerate nominations received specifically in 2024. Coverage emphasizes the committee’s resistance to political pressure and expert skepticism about Trump’s chances, framing nominations as part of a broader narrative rather than as verifiable annual statistics [3] [4]. This consistent omission across disparate outlets signals an absence of a clear public record in the supplied documents, not necessarily that nominations did or did not occur in 2024.

3. Where the “at least 10” figure fits—and why it’s not the same as a 2024 count

The July 2025 piece that cites “at least 10 Nobel Peace Prize nominations since 2018” aggregates nominations over multiple years and implies recurring support from various nominators across election cycles [2]. An aggregate total across years can create the impression of frequent endorsements without pinpointing specific annual submissions, and the sources do not break down which of those nominations, if any, were filed in 2024. Thus the available evidence supports a multi-year pattern of nominations but does not substantiate a discrete 2024 number.

4. The lone specific nomination referenced—and why its date matters

A June 2025 article names a formal nomination tied to Trump’s role in brokering a cease-fire between Israel and Iran, but the piece discusses this nomination in the context of recent events and does not assign it to 2024 explicitly [1]. If the nomination was submitted in 2025 for actions occurring around that time, it would not count as a 2024 nomination, illustrating how reports of nominations can conflate the timing of diplomatic events with the calendar year of nomination filings. The supplied sources leave that timing ambiguous.

5. Independent committee processes and transparency limits on counting

Articles also stress the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s independence and limited public disclosure about nominations, which complicates external attempts to verify year-specific counts [4]. Nominations are often submitted by a narrow pool of eligible nominators and may be publicized selectively, but the committee does not routinely provide a granular, publicly searchable file listing every nominee by year in real time. The reporting thus reflects both the committee’s procedural opacity and media focus on headline nominations rather than exhaustive records.

6. What can and cannot be concluded from the supplied documents

From the assembled analyses, one can confidently say that Trump has received multiple nominations across recent years and that at least one formal nomination related to an Israel-Iran cease-fire was reported in mid-2025; what cannot be concluded from these materials is a verified count of nominations for the specific calendar year 2024 [1] [2] [3] [4]. The absence of a 2024 figure in multiple independent write-ups suggests either that no publicized nominations were filed that year or that any nominations filed in 2024 were not documented by the cited reporting.

7. Bottom line for readers seeking a precise 2024 number

If your goal is a definitive count of Nobel Peace Prize nominations Trump received in 2024, the supplied sources do not contain that data; the responsible conclusion based on this material is that a precise 2024 nomination tally is unverified and unreported here [1] [2] [3] [4]. For a firm, year-specific answer one would need direct disclosure from nomination filers or archival records from the Norwegian Nobel Committee beyond the scope of these articles.
