Donald Trump Unlikely to Win Nobel Peace Prize
Analysts suggest Donald Trump has minimal chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize ahead of Friday's announcement in Oslo.
Analysts indicate that Donald Trump has minimal chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize before the winner is announced this Friday in Oslo. Despite extensive campaigning for the award since returning to the White House in January 2025, the U.S. president's prospects are weakened by his conflict with Iran, territorial ambitions, and criticism of international institutions.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee faces scrutiny as the selection of a laureate may be interpreted as a critique of the U.S. president. Potential contenders for the prize include Save the Children, Ukrainian activist Mykola Kuleba, and Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms, alongside the International Criminal Court and the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Kristian Berg Harpviken of the Norwegian Nobel Committee noted that while lobbying is common, such pressure does not influence the committee's final decisions.
