Trump Nominated for Peace Prize After Tense India-Pakistan Standoff
Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Not by an American group, but by Pakistan, reports Digi24.
The announcement came after a tense moment between Pakistan and India, two countries that have been rivals for decades.
US Led Negotiations
In early May, their conflict reached a boiling point, and many around the world feared it could turn into a full-blown war.
Between May 6 and 10, the two countries were at odds over several issues. Both are nuclear powers, which only raised global concern.
Then something unexpected happened. Trump announced on social media that a ceasefire had been reached.
According to him, this was the result of long negotiations led by the United States. It came as a surprise to many. The White House confirmed it.
Since then, Pakistan has praised Trump’s efforts. Islamabad thanked Washington publicly and often.
For years, the U.S. was Pakistan’s main military partner, especially during the war on terror.
That relationship cooled off after the U.S. left Afghanistan. But Trump’s claimed role in ending the conflict seemed to warm things up again.
Frustrated with Lack of Recognition
India, on the other hand, said there was no American involvement. Prime Minister Modi insists that the ceasefire happened without help from the U.S.
Still, Trump believes he was key to the peace process. He has often said that he deserves more credit for global peace efforts. He has voiced frustration about never receiving a Nobel Prize.
On Wednesday, during a lunch meeting with Trump in Washington, Pakistan’s army chief made another big move.
General Asim Munir offered a “mutually beneficial partnership” with the U.S. He spoke about Pakistan’s natural resources.
He mentioned minerals, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence. All of these are areas where Trump has shown personal interest.
Pakistan is in a tough spot economically. Last year, it barely avoided bankruptcy thanks to a new IMF loan.
The country now hopes foreign investors will come in and help develop its mining and tech sectors.
By nominating Trump, Pakistan may also be trying to strengthen ties with a powerful ally—just in case he returns to office.
