The White House has responded to Pakistan’s Nobel nomination, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming the recognition. Leavitt highlighted Pakistan’s acknowledgment of Trump’s decisive role in averting the nuclear threat, noting that the nomination reflects the president’s broader diplomatic successes worldwide.
“This nomination reflects Pakistan’s recognition of President Trump’s decisive diplomatic intervention to prevent a nuclear war between India and Pakistan,” Leavitt said.
Pakistan announced last month its intention to put forward Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising him as “a genuine peacemaker” for his role in preventing a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
Netanyahu seconds nomination
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, presenting him with a letter addressed to the Nobel Committee during a dinner at the White House on Tuesday.
Netanyahu praised Trump for his ongoing peace efforts across multiple regions, stating, “He’s forging peace as we speak, in one country, in one region after the other”.
Trump, who has been vocal about his previous Nobel Peace Prize nominations, received the letter from Netanyahu, further cementing his push for recognition of his diplomatic work.
