Republican Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. This ceasefire ended a 12-day conflict that began with Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran over its nuclear program.
In his nomination letter, Carter described Trump’s role as “extraordinary and historic,” praising his courage and ability to reach an agreement quickly.
The nomination has drawn both praise and criticism, highlighting Trump’s controversial diplomatic strategy amid wider geopolitical tensions.
