President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, according to public statements from several leaders and lawmakers, although the Norwegian Nobel Committee does not publicly identify individual nominees.

The committee received 287 nominations for this year’s prize, including 208 individuals and 79 organizations. Under Nobel rules, the identities of nominees remain confidential for 50 years, meaning claims about specific nominations generally come from the people who submitted them.

The leaders of Cambodia, Israel and Pakistan have said they nominated Trump for the award, though those nominations cannot be independently verified because of the committee’s confidentiality rules.

Trump has also received public nominations from members of Congress. Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York said in January that she had formally nominated Trump for the third time, citing his diplomatic efforts and the Abraham Accords. A Senate resolution introduced in 2025 by Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Barrasso also recommended that Trump receive the 2026 Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize is scheduled to be announced Oct. 9 in Oslo, Norway. The award recognizes individuals or organizations the Norwegian Nobel Committee determines have made a significant contribution to peace.

Trump has previously expressed a desire to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Last year's laureate, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, later gave her medal to Trump, although the Nobel Committee said awards cannot be transferred or shared.
