DONALD Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize again for “not starting any wars” while he was in office.

Jaak Madison, a member of right-wing populist party EKRE, claimed he nominated the former president for having contributed to ensuring stability in the Middle East.

Donald Trump is the first president of the United States in the last thirty years, whose office the country has not started any war," the MEP stated in a Facebook post, which cited his nomination application.

"In addition, several peace agreements have been made under his leadership in the Middle East, which has helped ensure stability in the region and peace."

Israel and the United Arab Emirates agreed to a historic deal normalizing relations in 2020.

Madison, whose post said he submitted his nomination “exactly two hours” before the deadline fell, said he was “definitely not the only one” who nominated the former president.

“But as we know: the more applicants, the more likely success is,” he wrote.

NOT HIS FIRST NOMINATION

A letter of invitation to submit a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize was not required, though persons or organisations could only be nominated by qualified individuals.

A total 318 candidates were nominated for the Prize last year - 211 individuals and 107 organisations.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee was responsible for selecting the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates.

It wasn’t Trump’s first nomination; in September last year, a far-right Norwegian lawmaker nominated the then-current president for the “historic peace agreement” between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
