**Pakistan Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Amidst India-Pakistan Tensions**

Islamabad, Pakistan – June 21, 2025 – Pakistan has nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” during the recent India-Pakistan crisis. The nomination, announced on social media platform X, comes despite India’s consistent denial of U.S. mediation in de-escalating tensions.

President Trump has repeatedly taken credit for easing the conflict, even stating he deserves the prize for his efforts in the region, as well as for brokering a treaty between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. “I should have gotten it four or five times,” Trump said on Friday, adding, “They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals.”

According to the Pakistani government, Trump’s actions demonstrated “great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship,” preventing a wider conflict between the nuclear states. The statement also highlighted his past “offers” to resolve the Kashmir issue.

However, Indian authorities maintain that the cessation of hostilities was a result of direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that Prime Minister Modi clearly conveyed to Trump that there was no discussion or proposal for U.S. mediation between India and Pakistan.

The situation is further complicated by Trump’s recent claims regarding brokering peace in various global conflicts, including Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Iran, and Serbia-Kosovo, for which he also believes he deserves the Nobel Prize.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton dismissed Trump’s claims, suggesting he is motivated by the fact that former President Barack Obama received the award.

This nomination comes after a period of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with Trump claiming earlier this year that he helped broker a ceasefire following a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington. Trump also hosted Pakistan Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir at the White House recently.
