US President Donald Trump has been nominated again for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Trump yesterday that he recommended him for the prestigious award, handing the American leader the letter he said he sent the Nobel committee.
Trump has been nominated several times by people within the US as well as politicians abroad – but that’s only one small step in the secretive process.
Trump’s nominators have included a group of US House Republicans and two Norwegian legislators. The groups separately nominated him in 2018 for his work to ease nuclear tensions with North Korea. One of the Norwegians nominated him again for the 2021 prize for his efforts in the Middle East, as did a Swedish legislator.
Not all of the nominations have been valid: The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which selects the prize winners, said in 2018 that someone using a stolen identity had nominated Trump at least twice.
