Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., announced Tuesday that he nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear warhead.
"President Trump took bold action to ultimately champion peace through strength and facilitate a ceasefire framework that brought hostilities to a halt," Carter wrote in a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. "In a statement that has since reverberated around the globe, President Trump announced the terms of a complete and total ceasefire agreement, commending both Israel and Iran for their courage to end the war."
Carter added in the letter that Trump's influence was "instrumental in forging a swift agreement that many believed to be impossible... [and] also took bold, decisive actions to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions and ensure that the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism remains incapable of acquiring a nuclear weapon."
Carter said Trump's "leadership at this moment exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognize: the pursuit of peace, the prevention of war, and the advancement of international harmony.
Trump said he doesn't expect to win the award.
"I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do," Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social after his administration helped secure a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the New York Post reported.
"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."
