Pakistan has formally recommended US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” after a spike in violence between India and Pakistan earlier this year.

Pakistan has announced it plans to nominate US President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, citing the role that Islamabad says he played in helping to negotiate a ceasefire last month between India and Pakistan.

The announcement comes three days after US President Trump hosted Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir at the White House, a meeting that gained widespread attention in the backdrop of recent cross-border tensions.
