House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he will work with Israel’s Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana to urge world leaders to nominate President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
“I’m proud to tell you that together with my friend, Speaker Ohana of the Israeli Knesset, the equivalent of our Congress, we’re going to embark upon a project together to rally speakers and presidents of parliaments around the world so that we will jointly nominate President Donald J. Trump for next year’s Nobel Peace Prize,” said Johnson. “No one has ever deserved that prize more, and that is an objective fact.”
“It’s an indisputable fact that no president has undertaken the work of saving lives and pursuing peace with such determination and with such remarkable, remarkable success,” he added, noting, “The world is changed by these actions and strong leadership. American strength is good for free people around the world.
“There will be more to share on this in the weeks ahead, but today marks the start of this effort that we’ll embark upon together, this joint parliamentary project,” the Speaker declared. “And I’m honored to do it alongside our ally and my counterpart in Israel in leading that effort.”
This year’s winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who dedicated the award to President Trump.
“We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy,” she said. “I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!”
