The U.S. has requested support from the Czech Republic to endorse Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, but Czech Parliament Speaker Markéta Pekarová Adamová chose not to sign the appeal.
A recent initiative aimed at supporting former U.S. President Donald Trump's long-desired Nobel Peace Prize nomination has gained attention in Czechia. The initiative, led by Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson and his Israeli counterpart Amir Ohana, asserts that Trump has been a staunch advocate for peace throughout his public service career, promoting dialogue and diplomacy.
The initiative has been communicated through a letter addressed to members of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, recognizing Trump's efforts for peace over the years. Subsequently, American representatives have reached out to parliamentary leaders worldwide, inviting them to join this support campaign. Czechia has received this request as part of a broader outreach to garner international backing for Trump's nomination.
However, Czech Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová, has opted against signing the appeal. Her spokesperson confirmed that while the request had indeed been received, it was not pursued further. This decision reflects the complex and often contentious nature of international politics, especially regarding Trump's legacy, as reactions to his presidential term remain deeply polarized.
