Welcome to our website, a grassroots campaign to recognize Donald Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize.

We believe that the Nobel Prizes should be awarded for actions that contribute to global safety and fortify peaceful democratic nations against tyrannical and oppressive regimes. Yet the prestigious Peace Prize has long been reserved for those who rub shoulders with elites, and for the well-spoken ‘golden children’ of international liberalism, no matter how contradictory, naïve or hypocritical. Abiy Ahmed, the sole prize-winner in 2019 for his efforts resolving the border dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea, had by 2021 gone back war and evidence shows his forces have committed a genocide against the Tigray people. Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel laureate for her “non-violent struggle for democracy”, by 2019 attempted to defend her country at the International Court of Justice despite the overwhelming evidence that both massacres and purposeful genocide had been perpetrated by her government against the Rohingya.

In stark contrast, the original spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize championed merit and real, substantive results. Read below what President Donald Trump has already achieved for international peace, and why he must be the next Nobel peace prize laureate.

Nobel For Trump

In a move unprecedented in U.S. history, Donald Trump became the first sitting president to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Through three summits, Trump lowered the immediate threat of conflict and symbolized a willingness to resolve tensions through dialogue. The Singapore meeting in 2018 secured for the first time a pause in North Korean missile testing.

This historic breakthrough marked a dramatic shift from decades of escalating hostility. By engaging directly with Kim Jong-un, Trump bypassed bureaucratic deadlock and redefined the approach to diplomacy with North Korea. Where previous leaders worried about their image – being pictured with dictators – his willingness to meet face-to-face signaled a new era of engagement, demonstrating that diplomacy rooted in strength and direct negotiation could yield tangible results.

Trump’s administration prioritized scaling back U.S. ground involvement in foreign conflicts, particularly in Iraq and Syria, and from Afghanistan through the 2020 Doha Agreement. His administration successfully eliminated ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019, and made room for regional allies to devastate Iranian proxy regimes. The fall of just one – Bashar al-Assad’s regime – has liberated millions from extremist rule.

Rather than relying on prolonged military occupations, Trump shifted the burden of regional stability to local allies, restoring regional balances of power and allowing a pivot to the Pacific region. His administration’s focus on targeted operations, rather than broad interventionist strategies, demonstrated that the U.S. could protect its interests without entangling itself in endless wars. The Doha Agreement laid the groundwork for ending America’s longest war, while his firm stance against terror networks ensured that threats were neutralized without unnecessary escalation. This approach allows America to redeploy its resources where they are most needed to keep peace. READ MORE

His pressure for the release of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan—an emblematic leader jailed for giving his people tangible aspirations for a real democracy— has gone further than most leaders in the western world. So much so that the regime in Islamabad has been forced to deny it will cave in to “pressure” from the new US Administration.

Trump’s advocacy for democratic principles extended beyond rhetoric, as he actively challenged authoritarian overreach where others remained silent. His unapologetic stance signaled to oppressive regimes that political persecution would not go unnoticed, reinforcing America’s role as a defender of democratic freedoms. His efforts forced the international community to confront the erosion of democratic institutions and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defending leaders chosen by the people, not dictated by ruling elites. This includes pressure to protect freedom of speech in the UK, where it has been under threat. READ MORE

The Trump administration led attempts to step up criticism of the Chinese regime for their persecution and alleged genocide against the Uyghurs and was the first to formally recognize it as a genocide. He used the position of the US to take a harder stance against the Chinese regime, and to push US allies to secure strategic independence, such as by rejecting Chinese Huawei 5G infrastructure, to ensure the West is able to offer credible deterrence against potential aggression.

By refusing to turn a blind eye to Beijing’s human rights abuses, Trump’s administration set a new precedent in confronting the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian overreach. It was the first step in leading America’s allies to break their dependence on Chinese technology and supply chains, allowing full strategic independence for the democratic world. The administration’s policies reinforced the principle that economic engagement should not come at the cost of human rights, signaling that the free world would not tolerate genocide or coercive expansionism.

Trump’s tenure as president is notable for its absence of major new military conflicts, even during periods of heightened tensions. For example, after ordering the targeted killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in January 2020, which further weakened the IRGC’s ability to destabilize the region, Trump opted for economic sanctions rather than military escalation across the region.

By focusing on economic pressure and strategic deterrence, Trump avoided new military entanglements, maintaining U.S. strength without risking prolonged wars. His leadership reinforced the principle that American power could be wielded effectively without resorting to unnecessary military intervention, prioritizing peace through strength while confronting adversaries with precision.

Trump’s administration brokered an economic normalization agreement between Serbia and Kosovo in 2020. The agreement included measures to improve trade, transportation, flight routes, and energy cooperation between the two nations, which have been at odds since the Kosovo War in the late 1990s.

Though less well known in the US, this landmark agreement was a breakthrough in one of Europe’s most enduring conflicts. By focusing on economic cooperation rather than political confrontation, Trump’s team facilitated a pragmatic path forward for both nations, despite there being no immediate political alignment.

Trump successfully pushed NATO member nations to fulfil their defense spending obligations, resulting in billions of dollars in increased contributions from member states. This materially benefitted the capacity of the European members to support Ukraine in 2022. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg acknowledged that Trump’s pressure ensured a more robust collective security framework, while his second Presidency is already producing higher defense investment amongst key NATO allies.

Under Trump’s leadership, the United Kingdom committed to increasing its defense budget to 2.5% of GDP, directly responding to his call for fairer burden-sharing within NATO. This move by the UK, along with similar commitments from other allies, strengthened NATO’s overall defense posture, ensuring that the alliance is better prepared to respond to emerging threats. Trump’s insistence on fair contributions didn’t just bolster NATO’s financial health—it reinforced the alliance’s ability to project power and defend freedom. READ MORE

Under Trump’s leadership, the U.S. secured the release of multiple American citizens detained in hostile nations. His administration’s efforts to bring Americans home were viewed as acts of goodwill and a testament to the power of diplomacy. This is true both with allies such as Turkey, in the case of Pastor Andrew Brunson, and in negotiation with hostile regimes in the case of three Americans held by North Korea.

Trump used a combination of pressure and direct talks to deliver results where others had failed. His success in freeing Pastor Brunson and the North Korean detainees showcased a bold, results-driven approach to foreign policy that placed American citizens first and made sure there was no incentive to kidnap more Americans in future. This robust approach meant leveraging American power for the protection of its citizens abroad. READ MORE

His administration’s use of sanctions against Iran, for instance, aimed to curb its nuclear ambitions and destabilizing activities in the Middle East without resorting to war. There was zero-tolerance for breaches of the Iran Nuclear Deal, which was therefore abandoned. The benefits of this approach are now seen with the Iranian regime in retreat across the Levant.

By imposing crippling economic sanctions and standing firm against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, he made sure the US was negotiating from a position of strength. This pressure not only isolated Iran on the global stage but also empowered regional allies to take a more active role in confronting Iranian proxies. As a result, Iran’s influence in key areas like Syria, Iraq, and Yemen has been significantly reduced, with the Syrian regime collapsed, Hamas in decline and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis contained.

Trump’s administration oversaw the territorial defeat of ISIS, which had controlled vast areas of Iraq and Syria. By empowering local forces and intensifying U.S.-led coalition airstrikes, Trump’s strategy dismantled the caliphate and significantly reduced the group’s capacity for global terrorism. These US-aligned and Turkish-aligned groups formed the foundation of the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.

Trump’s approach of using local forces on the ground, combined with US precision airstrikes, to drive ISIS from its strongholds, made Syrians the masters of their own liberation. It ensured the US would not leave a legacy of resentment in the region. This strategy weakened ISIS not just territorially but also by decimating its command-and-control capabilities. As a result, Syria now has the chance for a self-determined future. READ MORE
