'One Nobel for each': Donald Trump war math on peace prize; reiterates India-Pak truce claim along with six others

Donald Trump's war math says peace pays in multiples. Claiming that he has stopped "seven wars", while reiterating his India-Pakistan truce deal, he argued that each should count for a Nobel Peace Prize. The comments came when the US president was recalling a conversation where he was told he could win a Nobel for ending the Russia-Ukraine war.Recollecting that conversation, Trump said, "I said, 'Well, what about the seven others? I should get a Nobel Prize for each one'. So they said, 'but if you stop Russia and Ukraine, sir, you should be able to get the Nobel'. I said I stopped seven wars. That's one war, and that's a big one.""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 on Saturday at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder's Dinner."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 added.Pressing on India claim, he added, "like with India, I said, 'look, we're not going to do any trade if you're going to fight and they have nuclear weapons. They stopped."Further, he talked about his administration's efforts in "stopping wars" saying, "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. We are forging peace agreements, and we are stopping wars. So we stopped wars between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia."Meanwhile, India has rejected any third-party intervention in the cessation of military operation against Pakistan. Moreover, Islamabad too rejected any third-party mediation during Operation Sindoor, contradicting Trump’s claims of US-brokered peace between the two neighbors.
