US President Donald Trump has become the betting favorite to win the next Nobel Peace Prize, according to odds released by major UK bookmaker William Hill.
The operator has reportedly placed Trump ahead of several high-profile political figures and international organizations in its latest market for the prestigious award. The renewed attention comes as Trump continues to position himself as a key figure in global diplomatic efforts during his second term in office.
William Hill’s odds reflect growing bettor interest in Trump’s involvement in international negotiations and his public claims that he could help broker peace in several geopolitical conflicts. Supporters have pointed to his recent foreign policy initiatives and efforts to revive talks in ongoing international disputes as factors influencing the market.
Betting on Nobel Prize outcomes has become increasingly popular among sportsbooks and prediction markets, despite the prize traditionally being difficult to forecast. Political leaders, activists, humanitarian organizations, and diplomats are often included in the odds long before the Nobel Committee announces its shortlist.
Trump has previously spoken about his belief that his diplomatic efforts deserved greater international recognition. During both of his presidencies, he frequently referenced agreements such as the Abraham Accords and negotiations involving North Korea as examples of his peace-related achievements.
While bookmakers’ odds reflect betting activity and market sentiment rather than official Nobel evaluations, the numbers have sparked renewed debate online and across political circles about Trump’s global influence and the role of prediction markets in high-profile international events.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, with the official announcement traditionally made in October each year.
