U.S. President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, while admitting he doubts the prestigious award will be given to him.
Speaking at a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, Trump said the Nobel Committee has a reputation for “not giving it to people like me.” The 2026 award is set to be announced on October 9 by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Since returning to the White House last year, Trump has repeatedly argued that his foreign policy record merits recognition. However, critics point out that he launched a war against Iran and has yet to broker peace in Ukraine, raising questions about his claim.
Trump’s comments highlight his long‑standing frustration with the Nobel process. In past years, he has contrasted his record with that of previous laureates, suggesting his administration’s actions — from Middle East negotiations to global security initiatives — should qualify him for the honor.
While his supporters cheered the remarks, analysts say the statement reflects Trump’s broader strategy of portraying himself as a leader unfairly denied recognition. The announcement of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize will determine whether his doubts prove correct.
