In a surprising diplomatic move, the Government of Pakistan has officially announced its support for former US President Donald Trump’s nomination for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. The endorsement comes in recognition of Trump’s reported role in defusing a potentially devastating conflict between India and Pakistan.
According to a statement issued on the government’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Trump was praised for his “great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship” during a period of heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The statement credited Trump’s diplomatic engagement with helping to secure a ceasefire and prevent what could have escalated into a broader regional war.

“At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship,” the statement noted, highlighting his efforts to engage both Islamabad and New Delhi in dialogue. Pakistani officials emphasized that his mediation averted catastrophic consequences for millions in South Asia and underscored his commitment to peace.
The endorsement has sparked international discussion, as it is rare for a nation to publicly support a foreign leader for such a prestigious global accolade. The government’s statement frames Trump’s intervention as a “testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker.”
