US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the disastrous peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
He was nominated by anti-immigration and anti-Islam Norwegian politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde.
“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” he said.
It is the second time Mr Trump has been nominated for the award. In 2018 his name was put forward for his supposed efforts to denuclearise the Korean peninsula.
His predecessor Barack Obama received the award in 2009 for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between people.”
The prize was given despite Mr Obama’s track record of drone strikes and war, including the secretive CIA Timber Sycamore programme that funnelled billions to jihadist groups in Syria.
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger famously received the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to conclude the Vietnam War, a move that many said “made political satire obsolete.”
