Leaders from seven foreign nations are backing President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, Breitbart reported. The White House is calling Trump the "President of PEACE" as he heads into talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an attempt to broker an end to the war with Ukraine.
The White House celebrated the news in a post to Instagram on Tuesday. It lists Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, Gabonese President Brice Oligui Nguema, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Government of Pakistan, and Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe as his backers.
Trump has brokered peace deals for nations in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and he's currently working towards peace in Europe. For these efforts, Trump has garnered some surprising support, including from his Democratic 2016 presidential opponent and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Trump has received support from the many grateful leaders of nations who recognize the work he's done to end conflict and war for them. Just last week, Trump helped Armenia and Azerbaijan agree to peace during a White House meeting through what he called the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" agreement.
It gave Azerbaijan "full access" to Nakhichevan, which is a territory located southwest of Armenia. "With this accord, we’ve finally succeeded in making peace, and we just left the Oval Office where we signed voluminous documents and very important elements to the agreement," Trump said on Aug. 8.
The president was also responsible for getting Cambodia and Thailand to agree to "quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE!" between the two nations. They had disagreed over the border, and the conflict left 150,000 people displaced.
Meanwhile, Trump received the hearty endorsement for the prize from Rwanda’s Nduhungirehe and Gabon’s Nguema after he put an end to the bloody conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo that had gone on for decades. "Anyone, including President Trump, who would help sizably to bring this conflict to an end deserves the Nobel Peace Prize," Nduhungirehe said to Breitbart in June just after signing the peace agreement.
Netanyahu said during a White House dinner in July that he recommended the president for the prize after he ended the 12-Day Israel-Iran War. The government of Pakistan said Trump deserves the prize as he "demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through a robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation."
As these accolades are piling up from foreign nations, Trump met with Putin to hash out a possible deal for peace in the war with Ukraine, Fox News reported. Surprisingly, this led Clinton to share that she would also endorse Trump for the prize, which is awarded annually in December but typically announced in October.
"You know, look, if we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize," Clinton said ahead of Trump's summit with Putin set to take place in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday. She added some conditions, but nevertheless, it's a shocking promise from the former first lady.
"But maybe this is the opportunity to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security," Clinton added. She said that her "goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States."
Clinton believes it would be detrimental to America's standing in the world for Trump to accept these terms. "I think that’s a terrible, terrible precedent, and I think it would make our country less safe, I think it will reward Putin’s aggression, and he will not stop. We know that," Clinton said.
It's unlikely Trump gets Putin's unconditional surrender, but his track record demonstrates that the president knows what he's doing when it comes to brokering peace. Clinton may withhold her endorsement if things don't go exactly as she wants, but Trump has already proven himself to be a solid leader with a knack for peace, and leaders around the world already recognize that.
