Why is Trump nominated for Nobel Peace prize?

 MIDDLE EAST, MOST PEACEFUL IN 30 YEARS

WHILE STILL VOLATILE, MANY HOPEFUL INDICATIONS

While you can be sure that there will not be any positive reporting about hopeful developments in foreign affairs around the world, the facts are that there have been many positive developments.

First there is the middle east. When Trump took office there was violent confrontation in Libya, Syria and  Iraq. The Islamic Caliphate was ruled by ISIS which controlled large parts of Syria and Iraq. they were the result of the instability of the region which was a product of US intervention, a Sunni Jihadist movement and Iranian financed Shia jihadist movement. Trump pledged to destroy the ISIS caliphate and pledged to attempt to restore peace in the middle east.

In the early days of the Trump administration, he was able to call for an Arab summit in Saudi Arabia. It was attended by all the Arab leaders in the region and a positive dialogue was begun.

The first major development was when the new Leader of Saudi Arabia cracked down on wealthy Saudi's support for Sunni Jihadists, some were arrested, some were sanctioned and in effect much of the financing for ISIS, Al Queda and other Sunni groups was stopped.  

Then the Iranian nuclear deal was scrapped by the U.S. and severe sanctions were placed on Iran, which cut down on Iran's ability to support Shia terrorists in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Libya and north Africa.  There was increased cooperation with all the gulf countries in the isolation of Iran, which eased some of the fear of these countries from Iranian meddling in the region.

Much effort was made to restore more normal relations with Israel. There was interaction with Israel with Saudi Arabia and the other gulf countries. 

In a cooperative effort between the US, Iraq, Syria, Russia and the Kurdish people the ISIS caliphate was dismembered. The jihadists were mostly eliminated, the majority are buried in mass graves throughout the region. 

Then there was a cooperative effort between Syria, Russia, Turkey and Iraq to normalize and restore the boundaries of Syria and a plan for a new Constitution for Syria in the future. This was conducted in Astana, Kazakhstan. While the US was not part of this conference it did support the endeavor. 

Eventually there was the unveiling of a Israel/Palestinian peace plan. While it was considered a starting point, there was support from many of the Arab countries which pledged economic support for a proposed Palestinian state. There is pressure being placed on the Palestinians from the Arab coalition and there is pressure on Israel from the west. While still not accomplished there is the most hope for a solution in 70 years.

Recently the United Arab Emerates announced normalized relations with Israel. This agreement is planned to be signed in Washington in the near future. It is also anticipated that there will be other countries expected to follow in this path shortly.

While the region is far from perfect, it is a much more peaceful area under the Trump administration. There has not been any support from this administration for regime change in any country. We have reduced our military presence in the middle east without any negative consequences. These advances have been made by appealing to the long term best economic and social interests of all involved. So far it has been a resounding success.
