Michael Rubin — former U.S. Pentagon official — has argued that Trump merits the Nobel Peace Prize for the recent diplomatic realignment between India and Russia, following the high‑profile visit of Vladimir Putin to New Delhi. Rubin claimed that from Russia’s viewpoint, the visit and the honours extended to Putin were unprecedented, and that Trump’s policies helped shape that outcome. He also criticized U.S. criticism of India’s continuing energy and strategic ties with Russia — calling Washington’s stance “hypocritical.” Rubin’s remarks have stirred debate, as many analysts question whether diplomatic proximity alone should merit a Peace Prize.
