SougarLord Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Donald Trump is one of the candidates to win the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a Norwegian MP, has nominated the President of the United States. as a candidate for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his support of the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. On August 13, Trump announced that Israel and the United Arab Emirates had agreed to establish diplomatic ties, as part of a comprehensive agreement by which the Israeli authorities will paralyze the annexation of occupied Palestinian territory. In this way, the UAE becomes the third Arab country to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel, after Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994). "This agreement could change the rules of the game and turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation," said the deputy in the nomination letter. Trump's second Nobel Peace nomination Tybring-Gjedde also assured in the same letter that the American president had fulfilled the three conditions necessary to win the peace prize. "The first is the camaraderie between nations, and it has been done through negotiations," he explained. "The second is the reduction of standing armies, and it has reduced the number of troops in the Middle East." The last criterion, as explained by the deputy, is the promotion of peace congresses "and Trump has made" enormous efforts "to negotiate peace. It is not the first time that Trump has been nominated for this award. Two Norwegian conservative deputies were in charge of materializing the candidacy of the US president for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018. "We have nominated him because of the progress on the Korean peninsula," declared Per-Willy Amundsen, a Norwegian MP. "It has been a very difficult situation and the tension has eased since then in large part due to Trump's unconventional diplomatic style."
