President
Donald Trump of the United States of America has been nominated for the 2017
Nobel Peace Prize.
He was
nominated by an unnamed American, who wants him recognized for “his peace
through strength ideology”.
The Nobel
Institute announced on Thursday that 318 people and organisations are in the
running for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
Apart from
Trump, notable figures believed to be part of the nominees include Syria’s
White Helmets and Pope Francis.
Others on
the list are jailed Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, Edward Snowden, Russian
President Vladimir Putin and former French president Jacques Chirac.
Although the
names are usually kept secret, lawmakers, former laureates and some university
professors who are entitled to nominate, are free to reveal the name of the
person or group they have nominated.
