Trump Peace Efforts Earn Him Nobel Peace Prize Nomination

President Donald Trump's efforts in bringing peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates has earned him his second Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a far-right member of the Norwegian Parliament, submitted Trump's nomination for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, inventor, and armaments manufacturer.

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize will be awarded to a person who in the preceding year have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.

Tybring-Gjedde told the Fox News that Trump has done more in trying to create peace between nations than most Peace Prize nominees.

The Norwegian MP, who also chairs the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, also lauded Trump for the efforts that he has extended in resolving prolonged conflicts worldwide.

This is the second time that Tybring-Gjedde has submitted a nomination for Trump.

He was also one of the two Norwegian officials who nominated the U.S. president back in 2018 after Trump's Singapore summit with Kim Jong Un.

Japan's prime minister had also submitted a nomination for Trump in 2018 for the same reason.

Trump, however, failed to take home the Nobel Peace Prize then.

In his nomination letter, Tybring-Gjedde stated that the Trump administration played a key role in establishing relations between Israel and the UAE and that it is expected that other countries in the Middle East will follow in UAE's footsteps.

He further added that the agreement could be a game changer and it could transform the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity.

An AP report had stated that Israel and the United Arab Emirates will be signing a historic deal that would normalize their relations at a ceremony at the White House on September 15.

Tybring-Gjedde said that he is not nominating Trump to seek favor from the U.S. president adding that he is not a Trump supporter and does not even agree with some of his policies.

According to Tybring-Gjedde, Trump meets the criteria for the Nobel Peace Prize and some who have won it in the past have even done much less than what he has done, citing as an example President Barack Obama.

Obama had won it just a few months after he won the U.S. presidency in 2009 which was met with criticisms back then, one coming from Trump himself, according to a report by The Guardian.

Three other U.S. presidents have won the Nobel Peace Prize. President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, President Woodrow Wilson in 1920 and President Jimmy Carter in 2002.

Trump had replied "Thank You" to the nomination on his social media account.

Will Trump, this time, become the fifth U.S. president to win the prestigious award? Americans will find out October 2021.
