Two far-right Norwegian politicians have nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, lauding his efforts to denuclearize North Korea.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde and Per-Willy Amundsen belong to Norways right-leaning Progressive Party, which favors small government and low taxes, and they hold anti-immigration and anti-Muslim views.

The two lawmakers called Trumps actions regarding North Korea historic, with the potential to ensure world peace in the future in statements to Norwegian state broadcaster NRK.

Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed an agreement on Tuesday pledging to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, though its unclear what the timeline is for denuclearization and how the U.S. will enforce it.
