World leader to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

  • Cambodia’s Prime Minister, Hun Manet, has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • The nomination is based on Trump's alleged extraordinary statesmanship in resolving a border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand.
  • Trump's intervention, through a phone call to both nations' leaders, reportedly led to a ceasefire agreement and averted a potentially devastating conflict.
  • The five-day conflict had previously resulted in 43 fatalities and displaced over 300,000 people, escalating to heavy artillery and F-16 deployment.
  • This is not the first time Trump has been put forward for the award, with Pakistan and Israel also indicating previous nominations.
