Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) has nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, as have others, for the president’s role in brokering this week’s ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.

Carter said he wrote a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Tuesday to “formally nominate” Trump for the coveted prize “in recognition of his extraordinary and historic role in brokering an end to the armed conflict between Israel and Iran.”

It is unclear if the ceasefire will hold, and Trump berated both sides Tuesday morning before leaving for a NATO summit in Europe.

“We basically — we have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f‑‑‑ they’re doing,” he told reporters at the White House.

Carter’s letter, which comes three days after Trump bombed multiple sites in Iran, also touted the president’s role in “preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet,” referring to Iran’s efforts to get a nuclear weapon.
