US President Donald Trump in the past few months have claimed multiple times that he "settled so many wars".
Amid tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, the president had spoken with Prime Minister of Cambodia Hun Manet "relative to stopping the War with Thailand," which is when he recalled the conflict between India and Pakistan that was "brought to a successful halt."
"In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven wars," Trump said, claiming that he had ended the wars between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.
In August, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said that Trump should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, as he "ended several conflicts around the world".
After all these claims, could Donald Trump get the Nobel Peace Prize this year? Let us take a look at the five judges, who will decide whether the US president get the prestigious award.
