The race for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize is officially underway. However, per Reuters, in a weird twist, it seems that President Trump is likely to be one of the nominees. Kristian Berg Harpviken, the secretary of the Nobel committee, noted that the pool consists of 208 individuals and 79 organizations.
While the committee keeps the specific list of nominees secret for 50 years, the leaders of Cambodia, Israel, and Pakistan have publicly stated that they submitted nominations for Trump. These submissions would have been finalized during the spring and summer of 2025, which comfortably fits within the January 31 deadline.
