Several Pakistani politicians are pressuring their government to withdraw the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Donald Trump, citing his aggressive foreign policies. The appeal comes days after Trump ordered US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating the Israel-Iran conflict. Critics argue the nomination contradicts Trump's history of endorsing military action and instability in the Middle East. Lawmakers from opposition parties say the move undermines Pakistan’s diplomatic stance and risks regional backlash. The nomination had been quietly backed earlier this year, but the recent violence has sparked a public debate on whether Trump is deserving of a peace-related honor. (PC: News18)
