US President Donald Trump has been formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in securing the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reports New York Post.
The nomination came from Republican Congressman Buddy Carter of Georgia, who submitted a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee praising Trump's "extraordinary and historic role" in ending the armed conflict and preventing Iran-described as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism-from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"President Trump's influence was key to forging a swift agreement that many thought impossible," said Carter, who has represented Georgia's 1st District since 2015. He said Trump's actions reflect the Nobel Prize's core principles: promoting peace, preventing war, and fostering global harmony.
Carter also acknowledged the complexity of the Middle East, saying Trump displayed both courage and clarity in achieving the breakthrough.
