Cambodia has officially nominated former U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing his diplomatic role in resolving a recent border conflict with Thailand.
According to Reuters, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet submitted a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee stating that Trump's "extraordinary statesmanship" and diplomatic intervention, particularly a July 26 phone call to leaders in both countries, helped broker a ceasefire in Malaysia on July 28. The ceasefire brought to a close one of the most intense confrontations in recent history, which had claimed 43 lives and displaced over 300,000 people.
