Pakistan to discuss Trump nomination for Nobel prize

The accolade is one President Trump has openly expressed a desire for, having previously lamented a perceived lack of credit for his diplomatic efforts.

The nomination stems from President Trump's intervention in May, which saw a surprise ceasefire announcement bring an abrupt end to a four-day confrontation between the nucleararmed neighbours. President Trump has since repeatedly claimed that his actions averted a nuclear war and saved millions of lives.

The move by Pakistan has prompted speculation among some analysts within the country that it could be a strategic effort to influence President Trump's position on a potential joint strike with Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has previously condemned Israel's actions in the region as a violation of international law and a significant threat to regional stability.

Pakistan agrees that U.S. diplomatic intervention ended the fighting, but India says it was a bilateral agreement between the two militaries.
