Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Following Historic Deal

President Trump received another Nobel Peace Prize nod after securing a historic deal between two European nations.

According to The Hill, a member of the Swedish Parliament nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The governments of Kosovo and Serbia, who were part of the deal, we're also nominated with Trump.

The nomination is for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, and the deal is on the Serbia-Kosovo economic and trade deal.

Swedish Parliament member Magnus Jacobsson took his announcement to Twitter. In a tweet, he posted a copy of the letter supporting Trump.

Jacobsson said the three for their "joint work for peace and economic development."

The deal was made to normalize economic relations between the two nations, said Fox News. It also formalized the agreement that Kosovo will recognize Israel, and Serbia will move its embassy to Jerusalem. Kosovo and Serbia were former rivals.

Jacobsson added that trade and communications are "important building blocks for peace."

Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti was also "extremely grateful" for the Peace Prize nod. He took his glee to both Facebook and Twitter, reported Newsweek.

The former president of the United Nations General Assembly, Vuk Jeremic, dismissed the deal as simply a "photo opportunity." Jeremic is also the former Serbian foreign minister.

This nomination is already the second one Trump received for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.

On Wednesday, he also received a nod from Norwegian Christian Tybring-Gjedde. He said Trump had "done more trying to create peace between nations" than other nominees.

Trump was lauded for taking part in peace talks between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

There were 318 candidates for the prize for 2020. The winner for the 2021 prize will not be announced until October of next year.

Trump Ends Decades-Long Talks

Kosovo split from Serbia in 2008, noted New York Post

It chose to break off after war was waged by then Serbian strongman Slobodan Milošević. The war killed 10,000 Muslim ethnic Albanians.

In an appearance in the Oval Office, Trump said, "It took decades because you didn't have anybody trying to get it done."

"There was a lot of fighting, and now there's a lot of love," he added.

He was with Hoti and Serbia President Aleksandar Vučić in the appearance.

Serbia still does not recognize Kosovo as broken off, but it allows economic cooperation.

People from the two countries are still free to move across borders. The same goes for goods.

Vučić praised Trump for his involvement in the deal. He said the U.S. president did a "great job" amid the talks.

Kosovo's Hoti also hailed Trump's efforts as a "commitment to peace."

The Israel-UAE deal that Trump brokered was also decades in the making. It was the first normalization of relations between the two countries in a long time.

That agreement, also known as the Abraham Accords, will be signed at the White House next Tuesday. Delegates will come from Israel and the UAE for the affair.

In a tweet, Trump said, "More Islamic and Arab nations will follow soon!"

With the deal, it is seen that the future of the two nations will see more tourism and investments.
