Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Wednesday formally nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in brokering the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to free hostages in Gaza.
In her letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Luna praised Trump’s “bold and unprecedented leadership in advancing global peace,” highlighting the Gaza truce, the Armenia-Azerbaijan accord in August, and the Congo-Rwanda peace deal in June.
“At a time when global conflict is escalating and many leaders hide behind speeches instead of action, President Trump is delivering results,” Luna wrote in her letter. “Through tireless negotiation and direct engagement with regional partners—including Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey—President Trump achieved what many believed to be impossible: a ceasefire agreement, the release of hostages, and a framework for rebuilding Gaza and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.”
Luna added: “This was not just political theater at a United Nations General Assembly speech; it was serious, results-driven diplomacy that will save thousands of lives and restore hope to millions.”
Luna wrote the Nobel Peace Prize ought to honor “measurable accomplishments,” noting Trump’s “work has saved lives, brought stability to volatile regions, and shown the world that American leadership still matters.”
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced later this year, with nominations closing Jan. 31. The Norwegian Nobel Institute received 338 submissions — 244 individuals and 94 organizations — now under review in the months-long selection process.
Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on several occasions but has yet to win.
In June, Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) nominated him for mediating the Iran-Israel ceasefire, shortly after Pakistan credited his “decisive diplomatic intervention” during the India-Pakistan crisis. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) also nominated him in March for his efforts in the Middle East peace process, while Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) did so in January 2024 for brokering the Abraham Accords.
