President Trump has received a second nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize after a Finnish member of the European Parliament (MEP) called on the American president to pay his respects.
Laura Hutasari, a member of the MOP and right-wing Fins Party, wrote a letter to the Nobel Committee to nominate Trump for the 2021 prize, saying, And in view of stability. “

Huhatsari said Trump has almost completed the presidency without involving the United States in a new foreign conflict while withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. She also mentioned the Abraham Agreement – a peace deal between the two Arab Gulf states and Israel.
In addition, he said Trump has “protected national harmony and law and order” at home.

“It’s hard to imagine the president of the United States or the current president from the last decade, who will deserve more recognition in 2021 than President Trump for his efforts to build world peace.”
The letter is the latest sign of growing pressure in Europe and elsewhere for Trump to be rewarded.
Trump was first appointed by a member of the Norwegian parliament for his role in the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Days later, a Swedish lawmaker reappointed Trump for a role in the U.S.-brokered normalization deal between Serbia and Kosovo.
Last month, three members of the European Parliament introduced a resolution calling on the EU to nominate Trump for the prize.
“Most of my fellow Euro-MPs would consider such a suggestion provocative,” said Rob Rousseau, a Dutch member of parliament. “They believe they embody good and Trump embodies evil. But a closer look at Trump’s actual record can only lead to the conclusion that he has dedicated his presidency to world peace, and with considerable success. “
Separately, a group of Australian Australian law professors endorsed Trump for the award.
Nomination to the Nobel Committee is a preliminary step, and anyone in certain categories, including legislators, university professors and previous recipients, can nominate candidates. There were 318 candidates for the 2020 prize – who went to the World Food Bank.
