The Nobel Institute on Thursday said a near-record 318 people and organizations are in the running for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
The list is believed to include the White Helmets, jailed Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, Edward Snowden who revealed the scope of America’s NSA electronic surveillance program, a motley crew believed to include Syria’s White Helmets, Donald Trump and Pope Francis.
US President Donald Trump was nominated by an unidentified American who wants the US leader recognized for “his peace through strength ideology”.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which is highly critical of some of Trump’s first acts as president, is also believed to have been nominated.
