Bernie Moreno says Senate should call for Nobel prize committee to give award to Trump

Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno on Wednesday introduced a resolution that called for the Senate to formally nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Trump helped seal the agreement after just 12 days of direct military conflict between the two countries, and after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in order to destroy Iran's nuclear program. The agreement was announced Monday.

The resolution comes after Georgia GOP Rep. Buddy Carter, who is running for the Senate, already nominated Trump for the award this week. Pakistan also nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month for his role in helping the country avoid an escalation in its conflict with India.

“President Trump just pulled off what neocons and Democrat globalists have failed to do for decades: peace in the Middle East with Iran’s nuclear arsenal decimated – all with no American boots on the ground, American casualties, or injuries,” Moreno said in a statement. 

“President Trump is delivering exactly what he promised, the era of regime change and Forever wars abroad is over. Now it’s time for the world to recognize the obvious truth and award him the Nobel Peace Prize," he added.

Former President Barack Obama won the award in 2009, less than one year into his first term. The late-Presidents Jimmy Carter, Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt have also won the award, per the Obama White House.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 10, 2025.
