Will Donald Trump Be Awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for Brokering Middle East Ceasefires?

Trump faces a high-stakes verdict: Pakistan nominated him for de-escalating India-Pakistan tensions (though India denies his role), while U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter cited his Iran-Israel ceasefire deal 345. But critics highlight contradictions: Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Merezhko withdrew Trump's nomination, accusing him of "appeasing Russia" and abandoning Ukraine. Betting odds surged from 13% to 28% post-ceasefire, making Trump the current favorite—ahead of Greta Thunberg. Nobel rules require nominees to accept formally; Trump previously called the prize "rigged" and complained, "I won’t get it no matter what I do".
