President Donald Trump has long sought the Nobel Peace Prize, and he has done plenty to earn it, but many believe politics has played a significant role in denying him the award.
This year, the president intervened and assisted in stopping what could have been a disaster between two nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, with the latter wanting to see him rewarded, CNN reported.
Pakistan announced Friday that it will formally nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering a peace deal that ended the recent conflict between the two nations.
The Pakistani government has credited Trump with bringing an end to a dangerous four-day conflict that saw both sides launch military strikes earlier this year.
Back in May, the two nuclear-armed rivals appeared to be on the brink of full-scale war after each side hit military targets inside the other’s territory.
