NEW: GOP Rep. Calls For New Global Honor Named After President Trump

Supporters of President Donald Trump aren’t waiting around to see if the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize will be given to him.

On Monday, U.S. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-NY) stated that the Nobel Peace Prize is no longer the hallmark of global diplomacy it once was, citing last week’s passover of Trump in favor of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado and the 2009 awarding of former President Barack Obama.

The Nobel Committee, she alleged, has failed to recognize Trump’s successful mantra of “peace through strength.”

In an op-ed, Tenney called for the establishment of a “Trump Peace and Prosperity Award,” meant to recognize leaders who achieve results through “strength, freedom, human rights, and economic progress.”

“The Nobel Peace Prize once stood for strength, integrity, and moral clarity,” Tenney wrote. “Today, it too often rewards symbolism and politics instead of real achievement.”

Tenney, who represents New York’s 24th Congressional District, has twice nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize and vowed to continue doing so.

“President Trump’s leadership has made great strides in bringing peace and stability to regions long defined by war and division,” Tenney wrote. “He delivered results that no one thought possible.”

She cited notable accomplishments by Trump dating back to his first administration, including the historic Abraham Accords which established official diplomatic relationships between Israel and previously hostile Islamic nations. He has also presided over the defeat of ISIS and the restraining of nuclear capabilities by Iran and North Korea.

“Trump proved that peace does not come from appeasement but from power, clarity, and the courage to confront evil,” she wrote.

In contrast, “Obama weakened America, divided our allies, and emboldened our enemies. The Nobel Committee rewarded him anyway,” Tenney wrote. “While Obama gave speeches, Trump delivered peace.”

While Machado is nonetheless deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize for her courage in the face of death, her recognition underscores that the Nobel Committee “rewards rhetoric over results and politics over principle.”

“If the committee continues to deny reality, we will build something better,” Tenney declared for Newsmax. “The Trump Peace and Prosperity Award will raise the standard for global leadership. It will restore credibility to the cause of peace and remind the world that lasting stability comes not from weakness but from strength.”

President Trump arrived in Tel Aviv on Monday to welcome 20 living hostages returned by Hamas, the last in captivity. A multi-pronged peace agreement requires the terrorist group to return the bodies of more than two dozen dead hostages, a reality that Vice President J.D. Vance feared may never occur.

“The reality is that some of the hostages may never get back, but I do think, with some effort, we’ll be able to give them to their families so they at least have some closure,” Vance said on Fox News.
