P resident Donald Trump and his allies are using the tentative ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran as a reason to argue he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize, an award Trump has been angling to receive for years.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated again for the Nobel Peace Prize. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Trump on Monday that he recommended him for the prestigious award, handing the American leader the letter he said he sent the Nobel committee.

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious honours that can be awarded to individuals and organisations internationally.
