Cambodian PM Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
CAMBODIA, AUG 7 – Cambodian Prime Minister credits Trump’s trade-linked diplomacy for ending a deadly border clash that killed over 40 people and displaced 300,000 civilians, officials said.
- On August 7, 2025, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet put forward President Donald Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his efforts in resolving deadly border clashes with Thailand.
- The nomination followed a five-day conflict along the Cambodia-Thailand border last month that caused over 40 deaths and displaced around 300,000 civilians, with trade talks contingent on peace.
- Trump brokered an immediate and unconditional ceasefire on July 28 through calls with both countries' leaders and mediation involving Malaysian and Chinese officials.
- Hun Manet praised Trump's intervention as vital in de-escalating violence and saving lives, calling his diplomacy "visionary and innovative" in a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
- Trump's nomination adds to previous ones from Pakistan and Israel, reflecting his ongoing reputation as a peace broker, though the Nobel Committee will announce winners in October and keeps nominees confidential for 50 years.
