Cambodia Nominates Trump for Peace Prize
The News
Cambodia announced Friday it will nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he helped bring the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict to a ceasefire agreement.
The ceasefire agreement came soon after Trump warned Cambodia and Thailand last week that neither nation would reach a U.S. trade agreement if their border fighting didn’t stop.

“He should get the Nobel, not only for his work on Cambodia but also elsewhere,” said Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “We acknowledge his great efforts for peace.”
Netanyahu presented a letter to Trump which he said he sent to the Norwegian Nobel Committee praising Trump’s work to end the Middle Eastern conflicts.
“I want to express the appreciation and admiration not only of all Israelis, but of the Jewish people,” Netanyahu said. “You deserve it.”
What's Next
The winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in October.

In June, both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Pakistani government nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In May, Trump unexpectedly announced a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after the two nuclear powers and long-time rivals spent four days fighting.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize,” noting that the president has arranged one peace deal or ceasefire per month since returning to office.
