American former President Donald Trump has not received this year's Nobel Peace Prize, a fact widely reported in the Japanese media. This news has highlighted continued interest in both his presidency and America's broader relations and reputation in Japan and on the global stage. It's important to note Japan's deep connection to the Prize, with 24 Japanese laureates to date.

Japan shows a significant interest in the Nobel Peace Prize, given its pacifist constitution and its position as a major non-nuclear-armed power. Japanese society, generally speaking, tends to view the award as a symbol of peace and global stability, closely following the eligibility and awarding process each year. The interest in Trump’s candidacy illustrates the keen eye of Japanese society on international politics and figures of global significance.

Similarly, in the US and EU, the news about the Nobel Peace Prize often receives vast media attention. The speculation over potential recipients and the final announcement is frequently a topic of discussion. However, Japanese media handles the news in a notably systematic and detailed manner, reflecting the country's deep-rooted respect for the prize and its ethos.
