US president Donald Trump has been formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 2020. This comes just weeks after helping to broker a peace deal between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, touted as a "game-changer".
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, nominated Trump praising his efforts towards resolving conflicts worldwide.
'For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,' Tybring-Gjedde said to Fox News.
Tybring-Gjedde who also serves as chairman of the Norwegian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, said the Trump administration played a key role in the establishment of relations between The UAE and Israel.

In his nomination letter, he wrote: 'As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity.'
He also cited the president's 'key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and ¡ creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.'
He also praised Trump for withdrawing large numbers of US troops from the Middle East.
Right after his nomination, people thronged to Twitter saying it's all about 2020 being weird.
Donald Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. While Republicans are tweeting about the ¡°left going crazy¡±, let us remember that Rush Limbaugh, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Putin were nominated as well.

2020 is weird
This is not the first time Trump has been nominated for the prize.
In 2018 Tybring-Gjedde submitted Trump's name following his Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The US president did not win.
