Claim radiate widely against X– Tiktok– Threads– Bluesky– Reddit– Facebook And Instagram.

In short, the claim is wrong. The Norway Nobel Committee does not publish or approve the names of the peace prize candidates and there is no public list where no one can be removed. Candidates are absolutely kept confidential for 50 years in accordance with Nobel rules, that is, there is no way to know who is nominated in real time. While individual candidates, such as politicians, sometimes announce the names they offer, these statements come from the candidates not, not the committee. In addition, as the committee’s social media publications claim, there is no “robbing” or “removal” process.

Nobel Committee does not approve or ‘remove’

“Contrary to common belief, current year candidates have no public list,” Nobel Prize in FAQ on the website explains. According to the organization, nominations are definitely hidden. The names of neither candidates nor candidates are not released 50 years after the award of a certain year. As a site states:

The Nobel Committee does not announce the names of the candidates to the media or the candidates. In some cases, the names of candidates in the media emerge. These advanced estimates are either the product of speculation or information published by the person or persons behind the candidacy.

Organization is also a candidacy not A approval approved by the Nobel Prize. Since a wide variety of people are suitable for sending names, everyone can be put forward. Only those who are chosen as Laureates ultimately receive the approval of the Nobel Prize:

Any person or organization may be nominated by anyone who is suitable for nomination. There is no examination of candidates before the deadline for candidacy, so the Norway Nobel Committee has no effect on the quality of applications. The task of the Committee is limited to selecting the best candidate (or candidates) among the entire application list. Simply being nominated is not an official approval or honor expanded by the Nobel Committee, and may not be used to imply to associate the Nobel Peace Prize or related institutions.

As a result, these rules mean that the claim that Trump’s “removed” from the Nobel Peace Prize candidate list is impossible. There is no public list to get started and the committee not Confirm or publish the nominations. The only information that is publicly open to the public comes from the Nobel Committee, but from the candidates itself.

Possible resource of rumor

However, there is a real core that can help inspire rumors. In November 2024, Oleksandr Merezhko, a Ukrainian deputy and President of the Ukrainian Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee,, announced He nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Merezhko at the end of June 2025 Told to newsweek and other sales points After the negotiations to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine, he withdrew his own candidacy. Trump said that he “lost any belief and belief” in his ability to provide a ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv.

However, this decision was not an individual action by a single candidate, not the Nobel Committee. The committee itself never approves the candidates or does not submit public statements on the candidates.

We contacted the Nobel Institute, asked if the candidates could actually withdraw their shipments, and if we get an answer, we will update this article.

Trump and Nobel Peace Prize

Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on various occasions by the United States and political supporters abroad.

The Nobel Committee regulationsQualified candidates, national assemblies and governments between others, existing heads of state, university professors in certain areas and Nobel Prizes have passed. Due to these broad criteria, nominations usually come from political allies and sometimes explained by the candidates themselves. The deadline for the nomination is January 31.

In 2025, several such announcements were made. Pakistani government on June 20 stated In a shipment on x nominated Embers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Mana He also explained Trump to the public for the award. Republican congress members, including representatives in the United States. Buddy Carter Georgia, Darrell ISSA California and Claudia Tenney Each of New York is the publication of statements that explain what they have nominated for Trump.

On June 20, 2025, Trump discussed the issue directly on the real Social, in an article, don’t write “No matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Iran, I will not receive the Nobel Peace Award regardless of these results, but people know and that’s important to me!”

As a result, these announcements and statements show that Trump’s name is put forward by qualified candidates. However, as in all Nobel Peace Prize candidates, the Committee will not approve or explain them for 50 years.

We have checked numerous allegations about Trump and Nobel Peace Prize, claim Trump said he would bomb Norway if the 2025 award was not awarded.
