New Delhi: Only a few hours remain until the declaration of the Nobel Peace Prize 2025. US President Donald Trump has been waiting for the honour for a long time, claiming that he has successfully ended seven horrifying wars to date. The honour will be announced in Oslo, Norway, by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday.
Even as Trump is fairly convinced that he will receive the award, to the extent that he did not even wait for the committee's verdict and started campaigning for the prize. Previously, several US Presidents have been conferred this prestigious honour. The prize has been won by former US presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, and Barack Obama, respectively.
Former US President Theodore Roosevelt received the prestigious honor in 1906. Born on October 27, 1858, in New York City, Roosevelt was a member of the Republican Party. He served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He graduated from Harvard University.
He received the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War. He was nominated by Norwegian politician Carl Christian Berner. Roosevelt was the first American to receive the Nobel Prize. He died on January 6, 1919, at his home in Oyster Bay, New York.
Woodrow Wilson, the 28th president of the United States, served from 1913 to 1921. He earned a bachelor's degree from Princeton University and a PhD in political science from Johns Hopkins University.
Woodrow Wilson became the only American president to hold a doctorate. Woodrow Wilson won the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize for his role as the leading architect of the League of Nations, an organization he proposed to maintain world peace after World War I. He was awarded the prize for his "Fourteen Points" peace program and his efforts to include the League of Nations in the Treaty of Versailles.
Jimmy Carter was a Democrat and served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He was honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, for promoting peaceful conflict resolution, democracy, and human rights through the Carter Center.
Barack Obama became the first Black president of the United States in 2008. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people.
However, Barack Obama's award of the Peace Prize was controversial, as he had been president for only nine months. Opponents claimed that he had done nothing to merit the Peace Prize. Although the Nobel Committee argued that Obama had offered a sense of hope, the criticism persisted, with some calling the Nobel a premature award.
