Shock poll suggests 7 in 10 Britons believe Donald Trump should NOT receive a Nobel Peace Prize despite calls for US President to be recognised

Notably more women believe Mr Trump should not pick up the award, with nearly three in four not backing the US President.

Reform voters were the highest group believing he should be presented with a Nobel Peace Prize at 38 per cent; however 39 per cent of those aligned with Nigel Farage's party believe the US President should not pick up the award.

Pollster George Buchan explained that "there are multiple possible takeaways from these numbers".

Mr Buchan told GB News: "It could mean that the public does not see Mr Trump as responsible for the ceasefire. It could mean that the public does see him as responsible, but doesn't want him to have the prize.

"This is a great example of the importance of running qualitative research alongside quantitative research. That 69 per cent of people will hold that opinion for a number of reasons."

The pollster said that public opinion is "divided" around Mr Trump, which reflects the statistics viewed in the poll.

Mr Buchan continued: "He may receive a temporary bump as a result of the recent actions, whether or not that carries on, we will have to wait and see.

"The majority have a formed opinion of Mr Trump, with very few on the fence. So, it's not as if this will have converted some neutrals to his position."

The White House blasted the Nobel Committee for not awarding the US President the prize, saying it prioritises "politics over peace".

White House communications director Steven Cheung said: "President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will."

The winner of the award this year, Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, is grateful for what the US President is "doing already the world for peace".

The Nobel Committee said Ms Machado is "one of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times".

Speaker of Israel's Parliament Amir Ohana disagreed with the award, saying that "There is no one more deserving than you, President Trump".

Speaking today, Mr Ohana said: "You, more than any other individual, are deserving of the highest recognition for your efforts in promoting peace.

"Therefore, I hereby announce that together with our good friend, speaker of the House Mike Johnson, we will rally speakers and presidents of parliaments from around the world to submit your candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize next year."

Mr Ohana said Mr Trump is "not [just] another American president, but as a giant of Jewish history".

He continued: "You, Donald J. Trump, are a colossus who will be enshrined in the pantheon of history. Thousands of years from now, the Jewish people will remember you. We are a nation that remembers."

Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the Nobel Committee's decision, saying the US President is "too good" for the award.

Mr Putin said the US President is "doing a lot" for world peace, adding that the "credibility [of the committee] has largely been lost".
