Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) has nominated President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize after he declared a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
“I write to formally nominate Donald J. Trump, the 47th President of the United States, for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his extraordinary and historic role in brokering an end to the armed conflict 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 in a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.
“In recent weeks, the world stood on the precipice of a dangerous and potentially regiondestabilizing war. Yet in the face of this crisis, President Trump took bold action to ultimately champion peace through strength and facilitate a ceasefire framework that brought hostilities to a halt,” the letter continues. “In a statement that has since reverberated around the globe, President Trump announced the terms of a complete and total ceasefire agreement, commending both Israel and Iran for their courage to end the war. 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’s letter went on to honor Trump’s “instrumental” influence and his “bold, decisive actions to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ensure that the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism remains incapable of acquiring a nuclear weapon.”
“In a region plagued by historical animosity and political volatility, such a breakthrough demands both courage and clarity,” the Republican wrote, noting that Trump “demonstrated both, offering the world a rare glimpse of hope.”
Amid concerns that the ceasefire may break, Trump confirmed that the “ceasefire is very much in effect, and I think we’re going to keep it there for a long time.”
