US President Donald Trump has said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, arguing that he has ended multiple wars during his time in office.

Trump pointed to his role in brokering ceasefires and peace agreements around the world, saying his diplomacy has saved countless lives. He has made the claim repeatedly in recent weeks as the October 9 prize announcement approaches.

Supporters of the president say his deal-making has brought real results, from easing regional conflicts to pushing hostile parties toward the table. Several foreign leaders have said they nominated him for the prize.

Critics push back strongly. Experts note that some of the conflicts Trump claims to have resolved are still simmering, and they point to the ongoing war in Iran as a major obstacle to his candidacy. Analysts say the Nobel Committee has historically rewarded long-term peacebuilding rather than headline diplomacy.

Bookmakers currently place Trump far behind the favourites, with Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms and Doctors Without Borders leading the odds. Whether the committee agrees with Trump’s own assessment will be known when the winner is named on Friday.
