October 6, 2025, marks the beginning of Nobel Week, where winners in various categories will be announced. On October 10, 2025, in Oslo, the name of the new Nobel Peace Prize laureate will be revealed.
Trump and His Quest for Recognition
Attention to this event is drawn due to Donald Trump, the President of the United States, who persistently seeks to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. His statements about a global conspiracy preventing him from achieving this goal arouse interest and bewilderment. Political scientist Valery Dymov explains why this is so important for Trump.
Obsession with the Prize
Trump has repeatedly emphasized his efforts in promoting peace, but his quest for the prize raises questions. Dymov believes this is related to the desire to match his predecessor Obama, who received the prize in 2009. For Trump, it is a matter of recognition and status.
This obsession with the prize has long caused not only bewilderment but also concern. The use of U.S. resources to achieve this goal raises questions about the president’s priorities.
Norway and the Nobel Peace Prize
Although the Nobel Prizes are traditionally associated with Sweden, the Peace Prize is awarded in Norway. This is due to the historical separation of the two countries in 1905. Today, it is Norway that decides who will receive this prestigious award.
Trump’s Campaign
Bloomberg reports that Trump is actively promoting his candidacy. His emissaries and government officials are campaigning in his support. However, despite all efforts, the chances of success remain in question.
Members of the Nobel Committee, appointed by the Norwegian parliament, are cautious about Trump’s possible reaction to a refusal. This creates tension around the upcoming announcement of the laureate.
Chances and Prospects
Bookmakers estimate Trump’s chances of receiving the prize at 4%. However, as practice shows, their predictions are often wrong. The official list of nominees remains closed, and the committee’s decisions are not subject to discussion for 50 years.
Trump claims to have stopped several wars, but his actions provoke controversy. Questions about his influence on world politics and the consequences of his decisions remain relevant.
Formal criteria also play a role. Trump was not nominated for the prize by the established deadline, which makes his chances of winning in 2025 minimal.
The question of who deserves the Nobel Peace Prize remains open.
