US President Donald Trump has received a second nomination for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for helping secure a deal to normalize economic relations between Serbia and Kosovo, Fox News reported on Saturday night.
The deal included Kosovo's recognition of Israel, and Serbia's agreement to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
Magnus Jacobsson, a member of the Swedish Parliament, submitted the nominations.
He announced on Friday that he was nominating the Trump administration along with Serbia and Kosovo "for their joint work for peace and economic development, through the cooperation agreement signed in the White House," adding that "trade and communications are important building blocks for peace."
"It took decades because you didn't have anybody trying to get it done," Trump said in the Oval Office, surrounded by Serbia President Aleksander Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti.
The Serbian president praised Trump and said he had done a "great job," while Kosovo's leader commended Trump's "commitment to peace."
