U.S. President Donald Trump and the White House ramped up rhetoric about his potential Nobel Peace Prize win, just one day before the award was set to be announced. The White House shared an image of the Republican leader labeled “The Peace President,” even as Trump expressed doubt that the Norwegian Nobel Committee would recognize his achievements.
Trump has been a vocal contender for the award, often claiming credit for settling multiple global conflicts, including a peace deal between Israel and Hamas following indirect talks in Egypt.
When questioned about his prospects, Trump stated that his administration had “settled seven wars,” citing efforts like the Israeli-Hamas deal and seeking to end the Russia-Ukraine situation. He asserted that no one in history has settled as many conflicts.
Trump remains skeptical, however, noting that the committee “will find a reason not to give it to me.” He has frequently contrasted his peace record with that of his predecessor, Barack Obama, who won the award early in his first term.
Notably, Pakistan formally nominated Trump for the award after he claimed to have brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following the military confrontation in May 2025—a claim New Delhi has repeatedly denied, stating the truce was requested solely by Pakistan’s military leadership.
