Former senator Mushahid Hussain has called on Pakistan to withdraw its decision to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, a day after the announcement was made.

“President [Trump] has been Trapped by [Israeli PM Benjamin] Netanyahu and the Israeli War Lobby, committing [the] biggest blunder of his presidency,” the former senator wrote on X.

“Trump will now end up presiding over [the] decline of America! Since Trump is no longer a potential peacemaker, but a leader who has willfully unleashed an illegal war, [the] Pakistan government must now review, rescind and revoke his Nobel nomination.”
