 "'One Nobel for each one': Trump boasts about ending 7 wars, repeats Ind-Pak conflict claim")
US President Donald Trump once again said that he ended the India-Pakistan conflict with “trade diplomacy” as he demands a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump insisted that he should be awarded the prestigious award for “ending seven wars”. While Trump has been claiming to end the war between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, New Delhi remained clear that the decision to end the military escalation was a bilateral one.
“On the world stage, we are once again doing things that we are just respected at a level that we have never been respected before," Trump said at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder’s Dinner. He insisted that there has been renewed global admiration for American leadership ever since he returned to the White House, PTI reported.
“We are forging peace agreements, and we are stopping wars. So we stopped wars between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia," the American president averred. “Think of India and Pakistan. Think of that. And you know how I stopped that — with trade. They want to trade. And I have great respect for both leaders. But when you take a look at all of these wars that we’ve stopped," he said.
One for each: Trump’s push for Nobel
At the Saturday event, Trump went on to list a range of global conflicts, which he claimed the United States has resolved. “Just look at that. India, Pakistan, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Congo. We stopped all of them. And 60 per cent of them were stopped because of trade," he said.
Trump went on to claim that he told India that he “would not trade” if the fighting continues. “They stopped,” he remarked. While reiterating his Nobel Peace Prize ambition, Trump also mentioned how ending the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war could earn him the award.

The American leader concluded his remarks by saying that the Russia-Ukraine conflict could still be resolved under his leadership. “Because I have a good relationship with President Putin, I’m disappointed in him, but I do. I thought that would be the easiest one, but we’ll get it done one way or the other," he averred.
