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.
On X, the Pakistani government said Trump deserved the award "in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis".
India has denied the US served as a mediator to end the fighting last month, and says it does not want any diplomatic intervention from a third party.
Trump has often suggested he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, whose winner this year will be named in October.
In May, Trump made a surprise announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following four days of fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
Pakistan's government said in its post early on Saturday: "President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.
"This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker."
There was no immediate response from Washington or New Delhi.
Trump has repeatedly said that India and Pakistan ended the conflict after a ceasefire brokered by the US, and also that he had used trade as a lever to make them agree.
Pakistan has corroborated US statements about brokering the ceasefire, but India has denied it.
Last month, Trump said he told India and Pakistan that a ceasefire was necessary in order for them to maintain trade with the US.
"I said, 'Come on, we're going to do a lot of trade with you guys [India and Pakistan]. Let's stop it," he told reporters.
The Nobel move was applauded by Mushahid Hussain, a former chair of the Senate Defence Committee in Pakistan's parliament.#PowellVsTrump #pakistanicrypto #BTC☀ #worldnews #TRUMP
