Trump claims he stopped ‘eight wars’, including India-Pakistan, says he didn't do it for Nobel Prize
Washington: US President Donald Trump has once again asserted that he helped resolve multiple global conflicts during his tenure, claiming he averted eight wars, including one between India and Pakistan, and emphasised that he did it not for the Nobel Peace Prize, but to “save lives.”
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump expanded on previous claims where he had said he resolved seven conflicts. Now, he has added the Israel-Gaza war to the list, taking the total to eight. He also referenced ongoing tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, suggesting he might soon get involved in that as well.
“This will be my eighth war that I have solved, and I hear there is a war now going on between Pakistan and Afghanistan. I said, I'll have to wait till I get back. I am doing another one. Because I am good at solving wars. I am good at making peace,” he asserted.
He further claimed that some of these wars had lasted decades but were resolved under his leadership in a matter of days.
Despite not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump insisted that recognition was never his motivation. “To be fair to the Nobel Committee, this one was for 2024,” he said, adding, “I didn’t do it for the Nobel. I did it to save lives.”
