Ukraine’s parliament failed to advance a motion endorsing U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The resolution, filed last month, garnered 132 votes, falling short of the threshold. Supporters credited Trump with efforts to mediate between Moscow and Kyiv, but the bid ended with the vote. The outcome halted Ukraine’s attempt to back his nomination.
Trump has courted backing abroad, with endorsements from Pakistan, Cambodia, Israel, and Gabon. He portrays himself as a peacemaker in the Middle East, Central Africa, and Ukraine, but has not secured a ceasefire in Gaza. He once pledged to resolve the Ukraine war within 24 hours, then called the claim a metaphor. The Nobel Committee keeps nominees confidential, and the laureate will be named on Friday.
