[Text/Observer Network Zhang Chenjing] Are you surprised or surprised? Just three days after being nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian MP (September 11), Trump was nominated for the award by another Swedish MP, citing the normalization of economic relations between Serbia and Kosovo.
Compared with the excitement and excitement of being transferred 17 tweets after learning of the nomination, this time, Trump only "calmly" reposted a congratulatory tweet from the US ambassador, which said, "Donated twice a week! No one can do it!"

Fox News reported that Swedish parliament member Magnus Jacobsson announced on Twitter on the 11th that he had nominated the Trump administration, Serbia and Kosovo governments for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of their "promoting the common development of peace and economy through the cooperation agreement signed at the White House". "Trade and communication are important cornerstones of peace."
Jacobson mentioned that Serbia and Kosovo reached an economic normalization agreement on the 4th of this month under Trump's apology. At that time, Trump also issued a statement praising the agreement between Serbia, Kosovo and Israel as a step towards "Middle East Peace", and then tweeted that "it is a brave and historic scene."
But it is worth mentioning that the situation in the Balkans was intensified by the United States. 21 years ago, NATO, led by the United States, launched a 78-day bombing on the then Confederate Yugoslavia. After the war, Kosovo actually broke away from the management of the Serbian central government.
And when reporting on this, the US media "Axios" wrote sarcastically, "Serbia did sign an agreement with Trump for the normalization of the economy with Kosovo. But Serbian President Vucic told the local media that he signed a bilateral agreement with the United States, not with Kosovo."
learned that he was nominated again, this time Trump only forwarded a congratulatory tweet from US Ambassador to Iceland Jeffrey Ross Gunther.
Jeffrey's tweet was accompanied by the White House statement about Trump's nomination, and the caption said, "No one can do it! He was nominated twice a week! President Trump has promoted another peace agreement in the Middle East. This time it is Bahrain and Israel, which is of historic significance. No one is more worthy of winning the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize than our president!"
However, ironically, Jeffrey's tweet also misspelled the word Nobel, which Trump had misspelled many times before.
Some netizens couldn't help but mocked that neither of you can spell the word "Nobel", so this prize must be awarded at least to those who can spell it!
Fox reported that submitting a new nomination to the Nobel Committee is only a preliminary step, including members of parliament, university professors and previous winners can nominate candidates. There are 318 candidates for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize, and the winners will be announced on October 9 this year.
Early on the 9th, Trump was nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian MP Christian Tybring-Gjedde on the grounds that he participated in mediating the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel. Trump, who heard the news, was so happy that he turned around and picked up his phone, and sent 17 tweets to congratulate him within half an hour.
However, many critics poured cold water on the topic and said that "Trump's nomination should be cancelled" or "abolition of the Nobel Peace Prize." The Atlantic Monthly also posted an article on the 11th under the title of "End the Nobel Peace Prize", saying that Trump "is not worthy of his position", and the Nobel Peace Prize, which was nominated by Trump, was "subjective" and "absurd".
article also pointed out that there are two choices in front of the Nobel Peace Prize: award the prize to nonprofit organizations such as the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders; or simply "suspend for decades" until the international community has a better understanding of how to achieve lasting peace.
