Pakistan recommends President Trump for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
The government of Pakistan on Friday recommended President Donald Trump for a 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in de-escalating a brief conflict between India and Pakistan earlier this year.Earlier this year, the Trump administration intervened to stop a conflict between Islamabad in New Delhi in its early stages after a terrorist attack in the Kashmir region led India to attack its Islamic neighbor.
“The Government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis,” the government stated.
“At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond,” it went on. “This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue.”
The Pakistani government further expressed gratitude for Trump’s offer to help resolve the territorial dispute in the Jammu and Kashmir region, which has been a point of contention for decades.
The U.S. president has previously been nominated for his work in negotiating the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Middle Eastern Islamic governments.

Referring to both Munir and Modi as being “extremely influential” in halting the conflict, Trump said he had used trade diplomacy to get both sides to de-escalate. “They are both nuclear countries. I got it stopped.” In spite of what Modi says.
