- Throughout 2025, Trump actively pursued the Nobel Peace Prize, including contacting Norwegian diplomats and publicly lamenting on Truth Social about being overlooked for the award.
- Trump claimed to have settled eight wars, although his previous statements boasted nine, and many of the peace deals he cited remain disputed or unresolved on the ground.
- The Norwegian Nobel Institute has increased transparency to counter accusations of bias from Trump and his supporters, while independent observers highlight ongoing conflicts and humanitarian issues in the regions Trump mentioned.
- In a symbolic gesture, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado awarded her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump, which he accepted publicly, despite not having won the prize himself.
