Pakistan intensified its campaign to nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize on August 28, 2025, following Senator Irfan Siddiqui’s praise for Trump’s role in de-escalating the India-Pakistan crisis. The initiative highlights Trump’s diplomatic efforts in securing a ceasefire.
Siddiqui told NEN,
“Trump’s leadership averted a regional catastrophe.”
