[European Times] It's him, it's him again - US President Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize; and the nominee was Norwegian MP Christian Tybring-Gjedde.
"He has made a lot of efforts to peace among countries"
According to the BBC on September 9, the reason why Tabrigling Gid nominated Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize was that he helped to lead to a peace agreement between Israel and the UAE.

Tebrin-Gid said in an interview with Fox News Network: "In terms of his achievements, I think he has made more efforts to establish peace among countries than most other peace prize nominees."
But he also said that he is not Trump's "fan" and does not want to please Trump. He believes that the Nobel Committee should look at the facts and judge Trump based on the facts, rather than act based on his occasional behavior.
According to Fox News, in his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee, Tabrin Gid also mentioned that Trump has played a key role in promoting the resolution of the dispute between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue, the dispute between North Korea and South Korea, and in dealing with the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

What is the relationship between Norwegian lawmakers and Trump?
Although Tabrigling Gid claims that he is not a fan of Trump, the two do have many similarities in concepts.
According to the US news website Heavy.com, Taiblin Gied is a far-right politician. From 1984 to 1988, he entered Loyola University in Chicago, began studying political science, and then studied at the University of Denver.
According to his previous interview, it was the time he studied in the United States that he established his views on immigration. He believes that immigration is an important issue in Norway. He has said Muslims are more aggressive than Norwegians. He was also criticized for this.
was nominated. This is not the first time Trump

In fact, this is not the first time Trump has won the Nobel Peace Prize nomination. He was nominated as a candidate for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize after North Korea's top leader Kim Jong-un held a Singapore summit with Trump in 2018. And the nominee is the same person. That year, Tablin Gid and two other Norwegian lawmakers jointly nominated Trump on the grounds that it promoted North Korea and South Korea to mediate the dispute. But Trump did not win the award that year.

It is not the first time that the US president was nominated for and won the Nobel Peace Prize. Former President Obama caused great controversy when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump also tweeted him in 2013. In addition, the three US presidents Theodore Roosevelt (Sr. Roosevelt), Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906, 1920 and 2002 respectively.

In addition, Martin Luther King, Mandela, Mother Theresa and others have also won the Nobel Peace Prize.
nomination threshold is low. Has Hitler been nominated?
From nomination to awarding, the Nobel Peace Prize has caused huge controversy and has long become a "tradition". Behind the above-mentioned winners, which one is not a "bloody wind". Why
can cause such huge controversy? It starts with the nomination rules for the award. In fact, the threshold for nominating the Nobel Peace Prize is very low: politicians at the head of a country or national level, university professors, directors of the Institute of Foreign Policy, past Nobel Prize winners, members of the Nobel Committee, etc. can all be nominated. As long as it is filed on February 1, 2019, it will be accepted.
. Before the lottery draw, the Nobel Committee will not disclose the list of nominees, which has been ongoing for 50 years. It is reported that there were 318 nominees in 2020.
Trump's nomination this time also triggered public opinion. Many Trump supporters think he is worth it, while opponents say that Trump won the Nobel Peace Prize, and that is really the end of the world.
In history, the most outrageous nominee may have happened in 1939 - Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by several Swedish parliamentarians. Of course, they are not sincere, but a kind of irony. The committee subsequently revoked the nomination.
