He added, “I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo.”

Citing the Abraham Accords and Past Achievements

In comments to reporters, Trump also pointed to the Abraham Accords, a 2020 agreement under his administration that normalized diplomatic ties between Israel and four Arab nations.

“I should have gotten it four or five times… They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals,” he claimed.

A Look Back at Presidential Peace Prize Winners

Historically, three sitting U.S. presidents have received the Nobel Peace Prize. Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 for helping negotiate peace between Russia and Japan. Woodrow Wilson received the honor in 1919 for his efforts after World War I. Barack Obama was awarded the prize in 2009, less than a year into his first term.

The Nobel Committee said Obama was recognized for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” and highlighted his support for nuclear disarmament.

That award drew criticism from Republicans, including Trump himself, given Obama’s later military actions, such as drone warfare, involvement in Libya and Syria, and a large-scale effort to modernize America’s nuclear arsenal.

Other U.S. Political Figures Also Honored

Former President Jimmy Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for “decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts,” while former Vice President Al Gore was awarded the prize in 2007 for raising awareness about climate change.
