President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had secured a significant peace treaty between Rwanda and Congo, addressing long-standing conflicts characterized by extensive violence and decades of war. The announcement came alongside Pakistan’s formal nomination of Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
In a Truth Social post, Trump detailed his diplomatic efforts, despite his repeated claims that he would not receive the prize for his work, including peace accords in various regions. Pakistan’s government cited Trump’s decisive role in mediating the India-Pakistan crisis as the reason for the nomination, highlighting his strategic diplomacy and leadership.
The United States awaits a potential ceasefire proposal from Russia following Trump’s recent phone call with Vladimir Putin, and the narrative of Trump’s diplomatic efforts continues to be scrutinized, including refutations from India about his involvement in ending hostilities between the two countries.
