  • The nomination is based on Trump's alleged extraordinary statesmanship in resolving a border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand.
  • Trump's intervention, through a phone call to both nations' leaders, reportedly led to a ceasefire agreement and averted a potentially devastating conflict.

  • This is not the first time Trump has been put forward for the award, with Pakistan and Israel also indicating previous nominations.
