Bernie Moreno Proposes Senate Resolution to Nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, has introduced a resolution urging the U.S. Senate to formally call for President Donald Trump’s nomination for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. The resolution emphasizes Trump’s recent actions in ending the 12-day Iran-Israel conflict and halting Iran’s nuclear program, which Moreno calls a historic achievement. The proposal has drawn attention as a significant political maneuver, highlighting the Senate’s potential role in recognizing foreign policy accomplishments.

Moreno’s resolution is part of a broader trend of Republican lawmakers advocating for Trump’s international recognition. Rep. Earl ‘Buddy’ Carter, R-Ga., also nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize, citing his efforts to broker an end to the conflict and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Carter’s letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee underscores Trump’s leadership in promoting peace and international harmony, aligning with the principles of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The resolution is notable for its contrast with President Barack Obama’s 2009 Nobel Prize, which critics, including Moreno, argue was premature given Obama’s later involvement in prolonged conflicts such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moreno’s argument suggests that Trump’s recent actions represent a more direct and effective pursuit of peace, warranting the Nobel honor.

While the resolution does not guarantee Trump’s eventual award, it marks a significant political statement from the Senate, which may influence public perception and international diplomatic discussions regarding the President’s foreign policy achievements.
