The former president has been waiting for this day for a while now. And it’s finally here.
Because Donald Trump has officially been nominated.
Former President Trump has achieved quite a bit during his short political career.
And now he can add another achievement to that list as he has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) announced on Tuesday that Trump’s nomination is a result of his involvement with the Abraham Accords treaty that helped to bring peace in the Middle East.
The agreement came about on September 15, 2020, and it’s goal was to bring about peace between Israel and Arab states, specifically the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
After the treaty was put in place, other Arab and Muslim states hopped aboard. Some of those states included Sudan, Morocco, and Kosovo.
“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” Tenney said to Fox News Digital.
“For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false.”
The Nobel Peace Prize in the past has awarded efforts for the Oslo Accords in 1994 and a peace accord between Israel and Egypt which occurred in 1978.
Tenney did explain that Trump hasn’t gotten any recognition for trying to create an agreement between Israel and four of the Arab states that are around the Jewish nation.
Back in 2009, then-President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Obama’s securing of the award is what has Trump and his supporters anxious for him to take home the prize for similar efforts.
Since President Joe Biden has entered office, he and his administration haven’t been able to help advance the Abraham Accords by getting more countries to join the agreement.
Trump believes other countries are willing to join, but because of Biden’s failed foreign policy, those countries are backing down for now.
Past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize and politicians are among those who can nominate people for the prize.
The winner is chosen by a committee of five people which are appointed by the Norwegian Parliament.
This isn’t Trump’s first nomination for the Nobel prize, but if he were to win, who knows what kind of benefit that would give him in the polls for the presidential election.
It would also highlight just how much better his foreign policy is over President Biden’s.
