Fact Check: Was Trump Removed from Nobel Peace Prize Nomination? The Truth Has Come to Light
It is being claimed on social media that the Nobel Committee has “quietly” removed Donald Trump’s name from the Peace Prize nomination
News are hot that the Nobel Committee has quietly removed US President Donald Trump’s name from the list of Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
This news went viral on social media in a “breaking news” style and was widely protested by Trump’s fans.
The post even stated that Trump was removed from the list due to “violation of international laws and criminal cases.”
To make this news more believable, the address of the official website of the Nobel Prize was also included.
Then, everyone started sharing this post without verification and it became the hottest topic of the month.
Supporters and opponents launched fierce verbal attacks on each other and started belittling each other.
This news is baseless
In the pursuit of truth, it was revealed that the Nobel Committee never makes the list of candidates for the Peace Prize public.
Their role is completely secret and the details of each year’s nominations are kept secret for 50 years.
Therefore, there is neither a “public list” nor can anyone be “removed” from it.
So what is the real story?
First, in 2024, Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Merezhko nominated Trump for the Peace Prize, but in June 2025, he withdrew his name.
His position was that the Russia-Ukraine negotiations could not proceed, so Trump could not do the work for which his nomination was requested.
That is, the decision of the Ukrainian MP to nominate Trump and then withdraw it himself was not of any Nobel Committee, but of himself.
What is more interesting is that Trump has received nominations from many other places in 2025, including Pakistan, Israel, and some US Congress members who have also put forward his name.
But as the Nobel Committee always says, being nominated is not the same as winning the prize; it is just a recommendation.
So the news going viral on social media that “Trump was fired by the Nobel Committee” — is 100% a lie and a rumor.
