Donald Trump: Estonian MEP Jaak Madison nominates ex-US president for Nobel Peace PrizeEuro News, Feb 1, 2021
An Estonian MEP has nominated former US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Jaak Madison, a member of the right-wing populist EKRE party, said on Facebook that Trump had contributed to ensuring stability in the Middle East.
In 2020, Israel and the United Arab Emirates agreed to a historic deal normalising of relations.
"Donald Trump is the first president of the United States in the last thirty years, whose office the country has not started any war," the MEP stated on Facebook, citing his nomination application.
"In addition, several peace agreements have been made under his leadership in the Middle East, which has helped ensure stability in the region and peace."
Madison also confirmed that he had submitted the nomination "exactly two hours" before the deadline on January 31.
According to the foundation's website, lawmakers currently serving in a national legislature can nominate someone for the Nobel Peace Prize.
"I'm definitely not the only one who nominated this candidate, but as we know, the more applicants, the more likely success is," he added. "Let's see who gets the Nobel Peace Prize."
