Trump Says He May Deserve A Nobel Peace Prize For This Reason

U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that his contribution to the Abraham Accords could potentially make him a worthy contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.

What Happened: During a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump alluded to the possibility of more nations joining the Abraham Accords.

This significant agreement, signed during his first presidency, led to the normalization of relations between Israel and four Arab countries.

When asked about his potential eligibility for the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump responded, "I don’t want to get ahead of myself in this one, but they say for the Abraham Accords,” reported National Desk.

He also took a swipe at his successor, President Biden, stating, “We have four [countries] and Biden did nothing on that one too.”

"It’s the same four but they’re great countries, and they were brave doing it and it’s worked out very well,” he added.

Why It Matters: The Abraham Accords were signed at the White House in 2020, with the UAE and Bahrain being the first signatories, followed by Morocco and Sudan. Despite attempts by former President Joe Biden to extend the agreements to include Saudi Arabia, progress was halted due to the war in Gaza. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, played a crucial role in the Abraham Accords, but later distanced himself from the President’s political influence.

The U.S. President has been nominated four times for the Nobel Peace Prize as a result of his role in facilitating the Abraham Accords. In 2020, Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde nominated Trump for the prize, while in 2025, Congressman, Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Darell Issa put forward Trump’s name for the same reason.

Trump, now in his second term, has pledged to reinitiate efforts to expand these treaties. His first major foreign trip is scheduled for next month, where he will visit Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. The Abraham Accords are expected to be a key point of discussion during this trip.
