The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in the world. Former recipients include the likes of Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Theresa, and Nelson Mandela. Recipients of the award also include four former U.S. presidents. Assuming the criteria to win the Nobel Peace Prize is the same today as it was when former President Barack Obama won the award less than one full year into his first term in 2009, President Trump should be the fifth U.S. president to win the award.

Obama received the award due to “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Additionally, a special emphasis was given to Obama’s support for the reduction of nuclear weapons worldwide.
