However, a far-right Norwegian politician has proposed US President Donald Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. While talking to Fox News on September 9, Christian Tybring-Gjedde from Norwegia’s Progress Party cited Republican President’s work in encouraging peace deal between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel. According to him, the committee should evaluate the “facts” and not on his behaviour sometimes and confessed that he not a big supporter of the Republican president but  “Donald Trump meets the criteria.”

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who serves as the chair of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, said, “For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other peace prize nominees."

Most recently in a rally in Toledo, Ohio in January 2020, Trump told his audience that 2019 Nobel Peace Prize which is awarded to Abiy Ahmed should have gone to him instead. Earlier in 2018, US president said he deserved the prize for his efforts to persuade the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to give up nuclear weapons.
