Donald Trump News / Pakistan nominates Trump, getting Nobel is not easy, know the process

Donald Trump News: Pakistan has given a new direction to its recent relations with former US President Donald Trump. Immediately after the lunch meeting between Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir and Trump at the White House, Islamabad has nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

Connection with India: Trump's role

Actually, this nomination did not happen just like that. India is a big reason behind nominating Trump. According to reports, when India started 'Operation Sindoor' against Pakistan, the tension between the two countries increased significantly. This operation lasted for four days, in which there was tremendous tension and war-like situation on the border. Pakistan appealed for international help to stop this. Then Donald Trump came forward.

Trump had claimed that he got the ceasefire done by mediating between India and Pakistan. Now Pakistan is pushing Trump for the Nobel Prize in an attempt to repay the same "favor".

Will Trump get the Nobel on Pakistan's recommendation?

The answer to this question is - no. Getting the Nobel Prize is not as easy as just sending a name from a country. There is a very strict and confidential process for this, in which contenders like Trump are tested at many levels.

Nobel Peace Prize: What is this honor?

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in the world. It started with the will of Alfred Nobel. The purpose of this award is to increase brotherhood among nations, stop the arms race and promote global peace.

This award is presented every year on December 10 in Oslo, Norway, while other Nobel Prizes are given in Sweden.

Who can nominate?

Not everyone can nominate someone for this award. Nominations can be made by only a few people, such as:

Heads of state, prime ministers or parliamentarians

Members of the International Court of Justice and the Court of Arbitration

Professors, rectors or directors of research institutes of universities

Former Nobel laureates and heads of Nobel organizations

Members and advisers of the Norwegian Nobel Committee

Process from nomination to winner

Nomination forms are accepted until February 1.

March-August: Expert review and shortlisting takes place.

September-October: The Nobel Committee considers the names and elects the winner by majority vote.

December 10: The award ceremony takes place in Oslo.

This process is extremely confidential and nominations can only be publicly confirmed by the nominee.

How many US presidents have won the Nobel?

So far, these US presidents have received the Nobel Peace Prize:

Woodrow Wilson (1920): For his role in establishing the League of Nations.

Jimmy Carter (2002): Contribution to human rights and development.

Barack Obama (2009): For diplomatic efforts.

Apart from this, Vice President Al Gore (2007) was honored for his work on climate change.

Will Trump become the Nobel winner?

Pakistan nominating Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize is definitely a political signal, but it is no guarantee of getting the award.

The Nobel Committee considers someone worthy of this honor only after independent and serious review. Trump's role will also be tested on the same criteria.
