Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize before. Experts say he’s unlikely to win this year

Despite nominations from multiple governments, experts say Trump's controversial policies and brief peace efforts make winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize highly improbable.

  • On Friday, Oct. 10, the Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce the Nobel Peace Prize winner in Oslo, and United States President Donald Trump is listed among this year's 338 nominees.
  • Donald Trump has relentlessly campaigned for the prize since his first term, and several governments including Pakistan, Israel and Cambodia nominated him as he seeks to match Barack Obama.
  • This year 338 nominations were submitted , and Polymarket assigns Trump a 3% chance while UK sportsbooks shortened his odds to +150.
  • Experts say Trump's prospects are slim because his policies contradict Nobel criteria and lobbying often harms candidates, Nina Graeger and analysts noted.
  • A viral rumour falsely claimed a permanent ban, and fact checks debunked it; the Norwegian Nobel Committee could award humanitarian groups like Sudan Emergency Response Rooms, leading some markets at 28%.
