Former US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize following his involvement in a landmark peace agreement in Cambodia. The nomination, submitted by a US lawmaker, highlights Trump's diplomatic efforts in Southeast Asia.
The 2019 peace deal, which aimed to resolve long-standing conflicts in Cambodia, is cited as the primary reason for the nomination. Supporters argue that Trump's intervention helped stabilise the region and foster dialogue between warring factions.
Mixed Reactions to the Nomination
The announcement has drawn both praise and criticism. Proponents claim Trump's unconventional diplomacy achieved tangible results, while critics question the timing and motives behind the nomination.
Political analysts remain divided, with some viewing it as a strategic move to bolster Trump's legacy, while others see it as a genuine recognition of his foreign policy achievements.
Historical Context
If awarded, Trump would join a select group of US presidents who have received the Nobel Peace Prize, including Barack Obama and Theodore Roosevelt. The Nobel Committee has yet to comment on the nomination.
The final decision is expected later this year, with the winner announced in October.
