US President Donald Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. 

Norwegian far-Right politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde made the nomination following a “historic peace agreement” between the United Arab Emirates and Israel. 

The leader also praised Donald Trump for resolving other protracted conflicts worldwide and said he has made "tremendous efforts" in brokering peace.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde told Fox News.

"The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes,” he said, adding that "the people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump. For example, Barack Obama did nothing.”

Three other US presidents have won the peace prize, including Barack Obama, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Theodore Roosevelt. 

Donald Trump was previously nominated for the prize in 2018 following his efforts to solve North Korean nuclear tensions.
