Euronews: Trump will not receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
Euronews TV channel wrote in a report: The Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo will end the wait and announce the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 10, at 9:00 am GMT, but so far, one thing is almost certain: Donald Trump, despite being interested in the prize, will not win it.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that he deserves the prestigious award because he has resolved “eight conflicts”, but experts predict that he will not be selected by the members of the Nobel Peace Committee, at least this year.
Peter Wallenstein, a Swedish professor and expert on international relations, told AFP: “No. Trump will not win this year. Maybe next year? By then, the dust will have settled around his actions, including the Gaza crisis.
In fact, the current context and events in the world are not very promising: in 2024, the number of armed conflicts involving at least one state will have never reached this level since 1946, when the Global War Database was launched at Uppsala University in Sweden.
Why not Trump?
Many experts consider Trump’s claims about his peacemaking role to be exaggerated and express concern about the consequences of his America First policies.
“Beyond the attempt to mediate the Gaza crisis, we have seen policies that actually contradict the intention and content of Alfred Nobel’s will: to promote international cooperation, fraternity among nations, and disarmament,” said Nina Graeger, president of the Oslo Peace Research Institute.
According to Graeger, Trump’s list of actions that are inconsistent with the ideals of the Nobel Peace Prize is very long.
Trump has withdrawn the United States from multilateral international organizations and treaties, launched trade wars against allies and enemies, threatened to take Greenland by force from Denmark, deployed the National Guard to American cities, and attacked academic freedom and freedom of speech.
“We look at the big picture,” explained Jürgen Vatne-Friedens, chairman of the five-member Nobel Peace Prize committee. “The whole character or activities of the organization are important, but above all, we look at what the person or institution has actually done for peace.”
This year, 338 individuals and institutions have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but the list of nominees remains secret for 50 years.
Tens of thousands of people around the world, including lawmakers and cabinet members, former Nobel laureates, some university professors, and members of the Nobel Committee, are eligible to nominate candidates.
