Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Bonsall, Tuesday nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, considered one of the most prestigious awards in the world. The honor, awarded almost every year with a few exceptions, is given to people who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses," according to the Norwegian Nobel Institute. "Not since Ronald Reagan has an American president better represented the national resolve of peace through strength or the fundamental case for a world without war," wrote Issa, vice chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee and senior member of the Judiciary Committee. "Remarkably, it was the 2024 election of Donald Trump -- more than 10 weeks before his swearing in - - that tangibly kickstarted the cause of peace in numerous regions of the world, and we are already seeing the benefits.
