The US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
The nomination was submitted by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament.
Trump helped broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates in August.
"For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees," Tybring-Gjedde, a four-term member of parliament who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly said.
Tybring-Gjedde also submitted a nomination for Trump in 2018, following the US president's summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump did not win the award.
Tybring-Gjedde also revealed he is "not a big Trump supporter." but compared to Obama who won in 2009 Trump has done a lot to foster peace in the world.
"The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes," he continued.
"The people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump.
"For example, Barack Obama did nothing," he said to Fox News, referring to former US president Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.
The prize will be awarded on December 10, 2020.
