A United States congressman from Georgia has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Georgia) announced that he wrote to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee on Tuesday morning.

“I just nominated [President Trump] for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his historic role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet,” Carter said on X.

Carter’s petition to Norwegian Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes stated that Trump’s “bold action…in the face of this crisis” directly led to him “champion[ing] peace through strength and facilitat[ing] a ceasefire framework that brought hostilities to a halt.”

“His message of mutual respect and peace will now result in a full cessation of military activity, no further escalation and the preservation of thousands — if not millions — of lives throughout the Middle East and around the globe,” Carter said of Trump’s ceasefire negotiations. “His leadership at this moment exemplifies the very ideals that the Nobel Peace Prize seeks to recognize: the pursuit of peace, the prevention of war, and the advancement of international harmony.”

The nomination concluded that Trump’s ceasefire efforts offered the world “a glimpse of hope.”

“In a region plagued by historical animosity and political volatility, such a breakthrough demands both courage and clarity,” it reads. “President Trump demonstrated both, offering the world a rare glimpse of hope.”

While Carter’s nomination expressly states that there is a “full cessation of military activity” in the region, Trump on Tuesday morning dropped an expletive while frustratingly describing how both Israel and Iran violated the agreement he brokered; however, he did say that the ceasefire was still “in effect.”

Trump had previously been nominated for the Peace Prize by a Ukrainian lawmaker in November 2024, according to Newsweek.

That nomination, submitted by the head of Ukraine’s parliamentary foreign committee, Oleksandr Merzhko, was withdrawn on Monday – a day before Carter’s nomination was announced – after the lawmaker told the outlet that he had “lost any sort of faith and belief” that Trump could broker a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
