Despite losing the Nobel Peace Prize this year, US President Donald Trump continues to assert his role in brokering global ceasefires, showing no sign of backing down from his claims. In a series of repeated statements, Trump has claimed to have resolved eight major conflicts, including the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire on May 10 and the ongoing hostilities in Gaza.
Who is claiming credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire?
US President Donald Trump on Sunday once again stated that the India-Pakistan ceasefire happened because of him. Trump stated that because of his doing, eight wars, including the situation in Gaza, have been stopped. “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…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. It’s pretty good…” US President Donald Trump stated. He made the remarks while speaking to reporters during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One.”
How has Trump reacted to not receiving the Nobel Prize
“It’s an honour to do it. I saved millions of lives. In all fairness to the Nobel Committee, it was for 2024. This (Nobel Peace Prize) was picked for 2024. But there are those who say you could make an exception because a lot of things happened during 2025 that are done and complete and great. But I did not do this for the Nobel. I did this for saving lives…,” he further added. Trump emphasized that he did all this not for the Nobel Peace Prize, but for humanity.
Donald Trump, in reaction to not receiving the Nobel Prize, mentioned the prize was, indeed, for 2024 — and that many of his accomplishments were in 2025. He said,” But I did not do this for the Nobel. I did this for saving lives…”
How did Trump allegedly influence the ceasefire?
“..I settled a few of the wars just based on tariffs. For example, between India and Pakistan, I said, if you guys want to fight a war and you have nuclear weapons. I am going to put big tariffs on you both, like 100 per cent, 150 per cent, and 200 per cent…” Trump said. The President explained that his threat to impose steep tariffs on both countries brought the situation under control swiftly.”I said I am putting tariffs. I had that thing settled in 24 hours. If I didn’t have tariffs, you could have never settled that war,” he added.
Trump has time and again repeated these claims of mediating peace between India and Pakistan, asserting that his administration’s trade pressure brought stability between the two countries following heightened tensions earlier this year.
