Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for UAE-Israel mediation

Norwegian lawmaker nominated US President Donald Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for mediating relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel.

According to the reports, Norwegian MP and leader of the right-wing Progressive Party Tybring-Gjedde has nominated the US President for the world’s highest award, his second nomination.

This nomination is for their efforts for peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates because it is a unique agreement, Christian Tibering told the media.

It may be recalled that on August 13, the UAE announced the establishment of friendly relations with Israel, two weeks after which the Israeli and US delegations arrived in the UAE for the first time to finalize the agreement via Israeli commercial flight.

He said he nominated Trump this year because he withdrew US troops from Iraq.

According to the report, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which finalized the names, declined to comment.

Tybring nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize in 2019 for North Korea’s diplomatic efforts.

Donald Trump said last year that he deserved the Peace Prize for his efforts in North Korea and Syria but complained that the award would probably not be given to him.
