Mikey Smith, the Deputy Political Editor (Sunday) at the Mirror based in Westminster, reported that Donald Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize despite his efforts to campaign for it. The nomination deadline was January 31, just 11 days into his second term. While two people nominated him for the Abraham Accords, the ceasefire in Gaza is considered the benchmark for peace efforts. Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan, much like his other ventures, seems to be a rebranded version of existing initiatives.
Although Trump claims to have ended multiple wars, his tactics, such as imposing tariffs, raise questions about the sustainability of these agreements. He has also made controversial military decisions, like renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War and deploying troops to states led by political opponents.
Despite Trump’s assertions, his actions and statements have raised doubts about his commitment to peace. The Mirror has introduced a US Politics WhatsApp community for readers seeking updates on Trump’s activities. As Trump may be nominated for future Nobel Peace Prizes, the real test of his peace efforts would be a sustained period of tranquility in the Middle East.
