U.S. President Donald Trump believes he should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the conflict between India and Pakistan in May 2025.
Speaking to the media in New Jersey, Trump said the global community should award him the prize for his efforts for international peace in Rwanda, Congo, Serbia, and Kosovo.
“The big one is India and Pakistan — I should have gotten it four or five times,” Trump remarked. “But they won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals.”
“In exercising its fundamental right to self-defense, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyanum Marsoos—a measured, resolute, and precise military response, carefully executed to re-establish deterrence and defend its territorial integrity while consciously avoiding civilian harm,” it said.
The government of Pakistan has officially announced its decision to recommend former US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” and “pivotal leadership” during the recent Pakistan-India crisis.
In a statement released on X, the federal government condemned what it described as “unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression” — a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity — which resulted in the tragic deaths of civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.

Pakistan stated that in response, it launched Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos — a “measured, resolute, and precise military operation” aimed at restoring deterrence and defending its territorial integrity while “consciously avoiding civilian casualties.”
Amid escalating tensions, the statement credited President Trump with demonstrating “great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship” by engaging diplomatically with both Islamabad and New Delhi. His intervention, according to the statement, helped secure a ceasefire, de-escalate the conflict, and prevent a broader regional war.
The government described Trump as a “genuine peacemaker” with a steadfast commitment to resolving disputes through dialogue. It also acknowledged Trump’s previous “sincere offers” to mediate the longstanding Kashmir conflict, which Pakistan believes remains central to peace and stability in South Asia.
