Pakistan to nominate Donald Trump for Nobel peace prize [View all]

The move, announced on Saturday, came as the US president mulls joining Israel in striking Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation,” Pakistan said in a statement. “This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker.”
