Donald Trump has once again been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, this time by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), who cited the former president’s work on the Abraham Accords in her proposal for the high honor.
“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace deal in the Middle East in nearly 30 years,” Tenney said in a statement Tuesday. “For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’ and international organizations insisted that an additional Middle East peace agreement was impossible without a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
“President Trump proved that false.”
The deal — a series of landmark normalization agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco and Bahrain — is among Trump’s most significant foreign policy achievements of his only term in office.
“President Trump’s bold efforts to create the Abraham Accords are unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today,” Tenney said.

Upstate New York’s 24th Congressional District representative continued to contrast Trump with President Biden, accusing the 81-year-old commander in chief of “weak leadership.”
“Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage threatens the safety and security of our nation, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace,” Tenney said.
“I am honored to nominate former President Donald Trump today and I look forward to him receiving the recognition he deserves.”

Trump, 77, had been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several times before Tenney’s proposal.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a Norwegian member of Parliament and former chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, nominated Trump for the prize in 2020, also for his work on the Abraham Accords.
Magnus Jacobsson, a member of the Swedish Parliament, is also running for the 45th president in 2020 for brokering a historic peace deal between Serbia and the breakaway republic of Kosovo.
Australian law professor David Flint nominated Trump, again in 2020, to initiate a foreign policy philosophy known as the “Trump Doctrine, which the professor argued has prevented the US from “endless war.”
Finland’s Laura Huhtasaari, a European Parliament representative and member of the far-right Finns Party, nominated Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for the same reason.
Prize winners will be announced in October.
