Statement of Support of President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize

We respectfully express our support for President Donald J. Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his efforts to advance peace, dialogues, and stability in several key regions of the world.

President Trump played a crucial role in facilitating the Abraham Accords, which brought about historic normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and multiple Arab nations — a major step toward long-term peace in the Middle East. His unprecedented engagement with North Korea also helped reduce nuclear tensions and opened the door for diplomacy in a region long marked by hostility.

In Southeast Asia, President Trump’s quiet but timely encouragement for peaceful dialogue contributed to the ceasefire and de-escalation of tensions between Cambodia and Thailand during their border dispute near the Preah Vihear temple. His administration’s support for regional cooperation helped avert further conflict and promoted mutual respect between neighboring nations.

These contributions reflect the core ideals of the Nobel Peace Prize — fostering peace through dialogue, mutual understanding, and courageous leadership.
