translated from Spanish: Donald Trump, Nobel Peace Prize nominee

On Wednesday, us mediaman Fox News reported that a Norwegian lawmaker would have nominated Republican President Donald Trump as a candidate for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his work as a mediator to reach the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, of Norway’s populist Progress Party, told Fox News that Trump “should receive” the prestigious award for his support for the agreement that normalizes relations between these two countries, after decades of “hostile conditions” in the Middle East.
“This is a very, very important region in the world,” he added, stressing that “all efforts that lead to peace in that region should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Signing the treaty at the White House
On August 13, Trump announced that Israel and the United Arab Emirates had agreed to establish diplomatic ties, as part of a comprehensive agreement by which Israeli authorities will paralyze the annexation of occupied Palestinian territory.
In this way, the UAE becomes the third Arab country to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel, after Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994).
Donald Trump will host the white house for the signing ceremony of the so-called Abraham Treaty on September 15.
21 Americans awarded
Tybring-Gjedde had already nominated Trump as a Nobel Peace Candidate in 2018, following the historic meeting between the American representative and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore.
The 2021 Nobel Peace Prize nominations must be handed over to the Norwegian committee responsible until 31 January. In total, 21 Americans have received this award, former President Barack Obama was the most recent case, in 2009.
