Islamabad – Pakistan has called for US President Donald Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026.

In a post on the social platform X the Pakistan government  said Trump should given the award “in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis”.

Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for playing a substantial role in easing the conflict — despite Indian authorities disputing that.

The post has attracted a barrage of commentary on X, with both supporters and detractors.

The nomination came after Trump was asked Friday about the Nobel and said he should be awarded it for a variety of reasons.

He cited his work on India and Pakistan and arranging a treaty he said would be signed on Monday to end hostilities between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.

“I should have gotten it four or five times,” the president said. “They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals.”
