Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, who represents New York’s 24th district in the U.S. Congress, has formally nominated former President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for a third time. The nomination is in recognition of Trump’s work on the Abraham Accords and his diplomatic efforts to resolve international conflicts.
The Abraham Accords established normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan. These were the first such agreements between Israel and Arab countries since 1994. In her nomination, Tenney cited Trump’s record during his second term, which included negotiating settlements to eight international conflicts within a single year—specifically mentioning Armenia and Azerbaijan, India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand, Egypt and Ethiopia, Serbia and Kosovo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Israel and Iran, as well as Israel and Hamas.
“President Trump has delivered something many said was impossible: real, lasting peace through diplomacy,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “I nominated President Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for the third time, and I encourage all who are eligible, including my colleagues in Congress, to do the same through the formal process. Through the Abraham Accords, longstanding barriers to normalization in the Middle East were overcome, and in his second term alone his administration negotiated settlements to eight international conflicts within one year. Extraordinary. President Trump changed the course of human history with these agreements, his leadership has saved lives and strengthened international stability, and he continues to deliver peace through strength.”
Tenney has represented New York’s 24th district since 2021 after replacing Anthony Brindisi. She previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2011 to 2016. Born in New Hartford in 1961, Tenney currently resides in Canandaigua. She graduated from Colgate University with a bachelor’s degree in 1983 before earning her law degree from the University of Cincinnati in 1987.
