“Pakistan has announced it plans to nominate US President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing the role that Islamabad says he played in helping to negotiate a ceasefire last month between India and Pakistan. On X, the Pakistani government said Trump deserved the award ‘in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.’ India has denied the US served as a mediator to end the fighting last month, and says it does not want any diplomatic intervention from a third party. Trump has often suggested he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, whose winner this year will be named in October. In May, Trump made a surprise announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following four days of fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours.” (06/22/25)
