Recently, on Sunday (Oct 26), Cambodia also nominated the US President for the Nobel Peace Prize. Announcing the move, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said that Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for his role in brokering the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords signed between Cambodia and Thailand. Calling the nomination the "gratitude of the Cambodian people", Manet said Trump's leadership helped achieve lasting peace between the neighbouring nations that for years have been embroiled in border tensions.

“Recognising your unwavering dedication and resolute efforts to promote peace, not only between Cambodia and Thailand but also among other nations, and reflecting the gratitude of the Cambodian peoples, I have nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Hun said. “Peace saves lives, and this is the heartfelt wish of our people,” he added.

Previously, in September, Trump demanded that he should get not one but seven Nobel(s) for "ending seven wars". However, in an earlier statement, he had predicted that he won't get the prize in 2025..or maybe ever. In June 2025, while taking a victory lap for brokering a peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, he complained about being overlooked by the Nobel Committee and said, "I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do".
