Issa Nominates President Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

March 4, 2025

 

WASHINGTON – Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48), Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee and Senior Member of the Judiciary Committee, has nominated President Donald Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Not since Ronald Reagan has an American president better represented the national resolve of peace through strength or the fundamental case for a world without war. Remarkably, it was the 2024 election of Donald Trump – more than 10 weeks before his swearing in – that tangibly kickstarted the cause of peace in numerous regions of the world, and we are already seeing the benefits. I hope the Committee takes note of these extraordinary times and recognizes that President Trump ideally represents what the Nobel Peace Prize should stand for.”

Issa wrote to the Norwegian Nobel Committee and urged that it give due consideration that President Trump is also the architect and principal inspiration for the 2019 Abraham Accords – the most significant, successful, and durable Middle East peace agreements in generations – for which he has in no way received fair recognition for his efforts and accomplishments.
