ISLAMABAD : The Government of Pakistan has officially recommended former U.S. President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his crucial role in de-escalating tensions between Pakistan and India during a recent military crisis.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pakistan’s government stated that Trump’s diplomatic intervention helped prevent a full-scale war between the two nuclear-armed nations. The crisis began after what Pakistan called “unprovoked Indian aggression,” leading to Pakistan’s military response, Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, which it described as a measured act of self-defense.

Trump engaged in high-level talks with leaders from both countries, ultimately securing a ceasefire and reducing the risk of a catastrophic conflict. Pakistan also praised his efforts to address the long-standing Jammu and Kashmir dispute, calling for the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions to ensure lasting peace in South Asia.
Additionally, Pakistan expressed hope that Trump’s diplomatic approach could help resolve other global crises, including the Middle East conflict and tensions involving Iran.
