Cambodia's Prime Minister nominates Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nomination is based on Trump's role in ceasefire negotiations between Cambodia and Thailand.
Five days of conflict resulted in at least 43 fatalities before the truce was brokered.
Trump has previously been nominated by Pakistan and Israel for the same award.
The Nobel Committee's list of nominees is kept confidential until January 31.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has officially nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, attributing this decision to Trump's intervention in brokering a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand. The conflict, which resulted in significant loss of life and displacement, saw intense clashes that lasted five days before a truce was finally established as a result of Trump's diplomatic efforts, according to aa, newsweek, and lemonde.

The recent conflict resulted in over 300,000 people being displaced and at least 43 deaths, exacerbated by artillery fire and airstrikes. Trump's diplomacy was joined by efforts from Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and a delegation of Chinese negotiators, highlighting a collaborative approach to peace-making in the region, according to aa, newsweek, and aljazeera.

This nomination is part of a broader recognition of Trump's diplomatic efforts in recent conflicts, following similar nominations from Pakistan and Israel, and underscores the peace efforts made amid significant U.S. tariff reductions, which have also been instrumental in ameliorating trade tensions in the region, as mentioned in reports by aljazeera and lemonde.
