In a surprising diplomatic turn, Pakistan has formally nominated President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. This unprecedented backing stems from Islamabad’s assertion that Trump played a “decisive diplomatic intervention” role in the recent cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan. The development comes just over a month after the nuclear-armed neighbours reached an understanding to halt military actions, a move that Pakistan credits significantly to Trump’s efforts.
Islamabad’s official statement, released via social media, lauded Trump for his “pivotal leadership” during a moment of “heightened regional turbulence,” claiming he demonstrated “great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship.” Pakistan maintains that Trump’s “robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi” de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict with potentially catastrophic consequences.
While Pakistan champions Trump as a “genuine peacemaker” committed to dialogue, New Delhi has consistently refuted any third-party mediation in the cessation of hostilities. India asserts that the May 10 truce was a result of direct bilateral negotiations between the Directors General of Military Operations of both sides, initiated by Pakistan’s request. India has firmly maintained its stance against any external mediation in its disputes with Pakistan, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.
The nomination by Pakistan follows Trump’s own repeated claims of having “stopped a war” between India and Pakistan, often linking it to potential trade deals. This unusual endorsement from Islamabad, particularly given the ongoing narrative from India, sets the stage for a compelling debate surrounding the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
