I didn't do this for Nobel: Donald Trump repeats claims on 'stopping wars', including India-Pakistan, after missing Peace Prize

US President Donald Trump has claimed to have resolved eight wars, including the one between India and Pakistan, saying, he did not do this for the Nobel Peace Prize.

He has been repeatedly claiming to resolve seven conflicts till date, including one between India and Pakistan. However, he has now increased that number of conflicts to eight after adding the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Trump implied at plans to resolve the ongoing conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, as he spoke to reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday.

“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 said.

“We saved millions of lives, think about India, Pakistan, think about some of the wars that were going on for years. We had one going for 31, one going for 32, one going for 37 years, with millions of people being killed in every country, and I got every one of those done, for the most part, within a day," Trump added as he claimed to resolve most of the conflicts “within a day.” 

The US President continued to say that the prize announced by the Nobel committee was for 2024, while he resolved these 'wars' in 2025.

“In all fairness to the Nobel Committee, it was for 2024. This was picked for 2024,” Trump said while emphasising, “I did this not for Nobel. I did this for saving lives.”

Since May, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim dozens of times that he “helped settle” the conflict between the two involved nations.

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.

India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

India has consistently maintained that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries.
