President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet for his role in brokering a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand. Knewz.com has learned that the nomination follows a deadly five-day border conflict that left more than 40 people dead and forced some 300,000 civilians to flee.
President Trump’s role in the ceasefire
Hun Manet credited President Trump with decisive action in halting the clashes. According to Reuters, Trump called both Hun Manet and Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai to demand an immediate end to the violence and threatened to delay trade tariff negotiations with the United States until a deal was reached. A ceasefire was reached on July 28, and a detailed agreement was signed days later. While Cambodia’s forces had faced a much stronger Thai military, both sides agreed to withdraw under U.S. pressure. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, “President Trump and I expect the governments of Cambodia and Thailand to fully honor their commitments to end this conflict.”
Hun Manet’s nomination letter for Trump
Hun Manet’s office released the nomination letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The document praised Trump’s “extraordinary statesmanship” and “visionary and innovative diplomacy.” The document stated, “President Trump’s extraordinary statesmanship-marked by his commitment to resolving conflicts and preventing catastrophic wars through visionary and innovative diplomacy was most recently demonstrated in his decisive role in brokering an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand. … This timely intervention, which averted a potentially devastating conflict, was vital in preventing great loss of lives and paved the way towards the restoration of peace between the two countries.”
Trump’s actions ‘align perfectly with Alfred Nobel’s vision’
Hun Manet’s letter further praised Trump, saying that his actions align with Alfred Nobel’s vision. “This is but one example of President Trump’s exceptional achievements in de-escalating tensions in some of the world’s most volatile regions. His consistent pursuit of peace through diplomacy aligns perfectly with Alfred Nobel’s vision honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to international fraternity and the advancement of peace,” the Cambodian Prime Minister wrote.
Trump credited with ending several conflicts
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt has credited Trump with bringing an end to several conflicts, including the ones involving Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, as well as Egypt and Ethiopia. It is worth noting that the Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations annually, though nominees’ names remain sealed for 50 years. The Nobel Peace Prize winners will be announced in October. Notably, despite multiple nominations, Trump still faces criticism for failing to deliver on his pledge to swiftly end the war in Ukraine.
