Why won't Trump win the Nobel Prize despite the support of seven countries? It is so difficult to get, even Mahatma Gandhi didn't receive it

Trump will not receive the Nobel Prize: According to experts, Trump does not deserve the Nobel Prize and will not receive it. He has not done anything significant like establishing peace.

The nomination process for the Nobel Prize began in September-October. This time, US President Donald Trump has been the focus of much discussion, as he has been quick to declare himself worthy of the Nobel Prize. He even called Norway and personally requested the Nobel Peace Prize.

So let's understand in this explainer why Trump considers himself worthy of the Nobel, will Trump really be able to get the Nobel and what is the process of getting the Nobel Prize...

Question 1: Why does Donald Trump believe he deserves the Nobel Prize?
Answer: According to an article in the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv on August 14th, Trump called Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg in July 2025 and asked for the Nobel Prize. Trump believes he prevented seven major wars in 2025, which is why he deserves the Nobel Prize...

1. India-Pakistan conflict: On May 7th, India launched " Operation Sindoor " in Pakistan to avenge the Pahalgam attack, destroying several terrorist hideouts. The conflict between the two countries continued for four days. Then, on May 10th, Trump announced a ceasefire on the social media platform Truthout, saying, "I stopped the war between two nuclear powers."

2. Thailand-Cambodia conflict: Conflict between the two countries erupted on July 24th, sparked by disputes over the age-old Preah Vihear Temple and surrounding areas. Just four days after the conflict, Trump announced a ceasefire. Trump stated, "I have mediated a halt to the decades-old border war between Thailand and Cambodia. An immediate ceasefire."

3. Armenia-Azerbaijan dispute: The two countries had been locked in a dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region since 1988. On August 8, 2025, Trump summoned the presidents of both countries to the White House and brokered a compromise. Trump said, "I summoned Armenia and Azerbaijan to the White House and got them to sign a 17-point peace treaty."

4. Kosovo-Serbia dispute: Ethnic and historical tensions had been simmering between the two countries since 1998, which Trump ended on June 27th. Trump initiated ceasefire talks with the European Union (EU). Trump stated, "I have prevented Kosovo and Serbia from the brink of a major war. Both sides are ready for a ceasefire."

5. Israel-Iran War: On June 13th, Israel launched an airstrike on Iran, starting the war. This 12-day war destroyed Iran's nuclear laboratories and killed several top leaders. On June 24th, Trump announced a ceasefire between the two countries, saying, "I have stopped the 12-day Israel-Iran war. Attacks on Iranian sites have stopped."

6. Egypt-Ethiopia dispute: The two countries had long been at war over the Nile Dam water dispute, which Trump resolved in July 2025. Egypt issued military threats regarding water sharing at the dam, but Trump coerced them into a compromise by offering financial aid. Trump said, "It was an endless water war, but it's resolved. The United Nations (UN) didn't help."

7. Rwanda-Congo conflict: The Congolese rebel conflict had been genocide since 1994, which Trump stopped on June 27. Trump said, "I got Rwanda and Congo to sign a 'fantastic treaty.' The rebellion is stopped. This will save millions of lives in Africa."

Question 2: How many countries support Trump's Nobel Prize?
Answer: According to media reports, seven countries have nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize so far. These include Pakistan, Israel, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, and Gabon. However, the Nobel Committee does not release nomination information for 50 years.

Question 3: What exactly is a Nobel Prize, and how is it awarded?
Answer: The Nobel Prizes were established on November 27, 1895, based on the will of Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel. Nobels are awarded in Physics, Medicine, Chemistry, Literature, Economics, and Peace. This award is given to those who have contributed to the "greatest benefit to mankind." The Nobel Prizes were first awarded in 1901, and Rabindranath Tagore was the first Indian to win one.

No individual can nominate anyone for the Nobel Peace Prize. There are specific qualifications for this. Nominations can only be made by those authorized by the Nobel Committee...

• Nominations for the Nobel can be made by the President, Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, Justices of the International Court of Justice, former Nobel laureates, university professors, current and former members of the Nobel Committee and heads of certain institutions and organizations.
• Nobel nominations run from September to January 31 each year.
• Experts are consulted in March, April and May.
• The report with suggestions is prepared in June and July.
• In September, the Nobel Academy receives a report with the names of the final candidates.
• The Nobel Prize is announced after voting in October.
• The Nobel Prize is awarded on 10 December, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel.

Question 4- How likely is it for Donald Trump to win the Nobel Prize?
Answer- Foreign affairs expert and JNU professor Dr. Rajan Kumar says, "Trump doesn't deserve the Nobel Prize and he won't get it. Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, but he hasn't done anything significant like establishing peace. The Iran-Israel war also started with America's knowledge. America knew that Israel was about to attack Iran. Apart from this, Trump had also promised in election rallies that he would stop the Gaza war, which has not happened yet. Instead, he set out to change the map of Gaza."

Rajan Kumar said, "Trump's claim of a ceasefire in seven countries is completely untrue. India still hasn't accepted that Trump stopped the war. Only Pakistan is praising Trump. The Nobel Peace Prize is a significant award in itself, requiring appropriate action."

Somehow, Trump also knows he won't win the Nobel Prize. That's why he's repeatedly said, "No matter how many wars I stop, no matter what I do, I won't win it. This award is only given to liberals."

Previously, Trump had said in October 2024, "If my name were Obama, I would have won the Nobel in 10 seconds. Obama got the award without doing anything, but I also won the election."

The Nobel Peace Prize is so difficult to obtain that even Mahatma Gandhi was unable to receive it. He was due to receive the Nobel Prize in 1948, but was assassinated. The Nobel Committee refused, stating that the rules prohibit posthumous awards, even though Gandhi was the top candidate.

Question 5: Has any American president ever received the Nobel Prize before?
Answer: Four American presidents have received the Nobel Prize so far...

• Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, received the Nobel in 2008 for strengthening international diplomacy and cooperation between countries.
• Jimmy Carter, the 29th President of the United States, received the Nobel Prize in 2002 for his contributions to world peace, climate change and human rights.
• Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919 for his efforts in establishing the League of Nations.
• Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906. He had ended the Russo-Japanese War.
