Japan PM nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize after declaring Golden Age of alliance

TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday informed President Trump that she nominated him for next year’s Nobel Peace Prize — joining a growing list of world leaders.A White House official told The Post that Takaichi privately “told the president she nominated him and presented him with the papers” in a surprise move certain to please the commander in chief.Takaichi unveiled her nomination after the leaders signed documents declaring a “Golden Age” of the US-Japan alliance, including affirming a July trade deal lowering tariffs on Japanese goods to 15% and pledging cooperation on rare-earth and critical minerals in the face of Chinese export restrictions.The contents of Takaichi’s nomination letter were not immediately clear, but she publicly praised him for the cease-fire deal he brokered this month between Israel and Hamas.“In such a short period of time, the world started to enjoy more peace on the ground.And in this context, I highly value your unwavering commitment towards peace and stability,” she told Trump in public remarks during their initial meeting.Takaichi, a conservative protégé of assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, also pledged to donate 250 flowering cherry trees and July 4th fireworks to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States next year.Trump, in turn, gushed about Takaichi, who last week became the country’s first female prime minister, and recounted how assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held her in high regard.An already sizable list of world leaders has called for Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said Sunday that he is also nominating Trump for the prize in gratitude for his mediation to end a five-day border war with Thailand in July.Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, speaking alongside Trump at a peace summit in Egypt on Oct.
