About it writes Reuters with reference to the Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Christian Berg Harpviken.
Among this year’s nominees are 208 people and 79 organizations, he said. Compared to last year, there are many new candidates.
The agency writes that there is no way to verify whether Trump actually made their list, as the list of nominees has remained secret for 50 years.
On January 19, Trump said that, after being denied the Nobel Prize, he would no longer think about the world, but would prioritize what would be “good and right for the United States.”
August 7, 2025. Cambodia officially nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping to restore peace on the nation’s border. The letter was sent by the country’s Prime Minister Hun Manet. On June 24 of the same year, U.S. politician, Congressman Buddy Carter, according to Fox News Channel, wrote to the Nobel Peace Committee stating that Trump had played a “remarkable and historic role” in ending the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Who else is on the lists
That said, a nomination itself does not signify support from the committee. Thousands of people around the world have the right to nominate candidates: members of governments and parliaments, sitting heads of state, university professors of history, social sciences, law and philosophy, as well as past Nobel Peace Prize winners and others.
Names of possible laureates are already appearing on betting websites, from Yulia Navalnaya, widow of the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, to Papa Lion and the Sudanese volunteer group Emergency Response Rooms.
Also among the possible nominees for this year’s award are U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Danish MP Aya Chemnitz of Greenland, said Norwegian MP Lars Hultbrekken, who nominated them both.
“Together they have worked tirelessly over the years to build trust and ensure the peaceful development of the Arctic region,” he said.
