New York: US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize due to his efforts to broker peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term member of Norwegian Parliament, nominated the US president for the award.
“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Gjedde told to Fox News.
Trump will hold a signing ceremony on 15 September for a groundbreaking Middle East agreement normalising relations between Israel and the UAE.
In 2020, there are 318 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize.
