The US president has made "no secret that he would love nothing more" than winning the prestigious accolade, experts tell Sky News, with his suggestions of being a worthy candidate starting from his very first term.

In August 2025, a rumor circulated on social media sites like Facebook claiming that U.S. President Donald Trump "freaked out" after supposedly finding out the Nobel Peace Prize application featured a question asking if the applicant had ever used the nation's military against civilians.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said if President Trump is the architect of a deal to end the war in Ukraine without Kyiv ceding land to Russia, "I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize."
