Cambodia will nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he helped the country reach a cease-fire agreement to end its border conflict with Thailand.
Sun Chanthol, Cambodia’s deputy prime minister, thanked Trump for bringing peace to the region while speaking to reporters earlier Friday in the country’s capital of Phnom Penh.
Chanthol said the American president deserved to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, the highest-profile international award given to a person or organization for doing the most to “advance fellowship between nations.”
“We acknowledge his great efforts for peace,” Chanthol said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month he had nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize and Pakistani officials said in June they would recommend him for the award for his role in helping to end its conflict with India.
