Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize before. Experts say he’s unlikely to win this year
Despite multiple nominations since 2018 and credit for the Abraham Accords, experts say Trump’s peace efforts lack lasting impact, making his Nobel Peace Prize chances slim.
- Earlier this year, U.S. President Donald Trump’s multiple nominations since 2018 have increased attention on the Nobel Peace Prize’s annual guessing game.
- Rep. Claudia Tenney nominated Trump in December for the Abraham Accords, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistan’s government submitted nominations after the Feb. 1 deadline for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
- Most recently, Trump told United Nations delegates late last month that many say he deserves the Nobel Prize, and last week he teased ending an eighth war as Israel and Hamas agreed to his plan’s first phase.

- Analysts note the committee’s concern about political pressure, warning the Nobel committee avoids yielding to Trump’s public pursuit while his climate-change stance and peace durability remain in question.
