Claim 1: “Although the Norwegian Nobel Committee have not confirmed that Donald Trump is among the 287 candidates for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, we make Trump the leading contender to take this year’s award,” spokesperson Lee Phelps said, according to Mediaite.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim attributes the statement that Donald Trump is the leading contender for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Lee Phelps. While web search results mention Lee Phelps naming Trump as the 'leading contender,' the specific details regarding the Norwegian Nobel Committee not having confirmed him as one of the 287 candidates are not independently corroborated by multiple sources, making it difficult to confirm the full context of the claim.

Claim 2: “US President Donald Trump has been declared the favorite to win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, according to a UK betting company, despite waging war in Iran.”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim about a UK betting company declaring Donald Trump the favorite to win the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, despite waging war in Iran, is not independently corroborated by multiple sources. While the evidence mentions a UK betting company and the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, the specific combination of 'favorite' status and the 'ongoing war in Iran' is presented only within the context of the claim's original reporting (implied by the evidence structure) and lacks independent confirmation from multiple sources.
