The 20-point peace plan, which was proposed by Trump, is aimed at ending the two-year war in Gaza that has claimed more than 67,000 lives. 2025 Nobel Peace Prize The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday, and many, including Trump himself, have expressed confidence that he will be the winner this time. At least seven countries, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Gabon, Israel, Pakistan, and Rwanda, have nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in ending various conflicts. 'I deserve Nobel Peace Prize' Trump himself has suggested that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for ending wars across the world. Trump has repeatedly claimed that he has ended 6-8 wars since he became the US President for the second time in January 2025. “Nobody’s ever done that,” he told a gathering of military leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia last week. “Will you get the Nobel Prize? Absolutely not. They’ll give it to some guy that didn’t do a damn thing.” President Donald Trump speaks during a celebration for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Harry S.

In August, former US Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she would nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he could end the Russia-Ukraine war without Ukraine losing its territory. Can Trump win 2025 Nobel Peace Prize? While Trump and his supporters believe that the US President deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, experts say that the chances of him winning, at least this time, are slim.

Trump’s own record might even work against him, they said, citing his apparent disdain for multilateral institutions and his disregard for global climate change concerns.
