A group of 18 House Republicans has formally nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In a letter sent on Wednesday to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, the lawmakers tapped Trump for the highly coveted prize for his efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and end the 68-year-old war between the North and the South.

"Since taking office, President Trump has worked tirelessly to apply maximum pressure on North Korea to end its illicit weapons program and bring peace to the region," the letter, led by Rep. Luke Messer (R-Ind.), reads.

"His Administration successfully united the international community, including China, to impose one of the most successful international sanctions regimes in history."

Messer first announced last week that he planned to nominate Trump for the Peace Prize, after a landmark meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae In.
