• Trump insists not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize would insult the U.S.
• He claims to have resolved seven conflicts since his return to office.
• Israeli PM Netanyahu shows support for Trump's peace plan for Gaza.
• The Nobel Prize announcement is set for October 10.
• Trump seeks global backing for his Nobel nomination.

President Donald Trump stated that if he does not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, it would be an “insult” to the United States. During remarks at Quantico, Virginia, he expressed his belief that his contributions to resolving multiple conflicts, including a new peace plan for Gaza, merit recognition. He remarked, "If this works out, we’ll have eight, eight in eight months. That’s pretty good," while emphasizing, "I want the country to get it" instead of himself, according to The Hill, Le Monde, and India Times.

Trump's remarks come on the heels of unveiling a 20-point peace plan, which he claims has the backing of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He listed various conflicts he believes he has helped resolve, such as disputes involving Cambodia and Thailand, and emphasized that failing to win the prize would lead to it being given to someone less deserving. "They’ll give it to some guy that didn’t do a damn thing," Trump said. This point underscores his ongoing frustration regarding the recognition of his diplomatic efforts, especially in light of past laureates like former President Barack Obama, according to Le Monde and India Times.

The upcoming Nobel Prize announcement has drawn significant attention to Trump's claims, as he seeks nominations for his contributions to global peace from various nations, including Pakistan and Israel. The White House has stated it is “well past time” for Trump to receive the prize, as they continue to advocate for recognition ahead of the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision in December, which adds political pressure on this situation. His administration is highlighted for its active role in seeking this acknowledgment, according to The Hill and India Times.
