NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated that he played a key role in brokering a peace deal between several countries, including India and Pakistan, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump claimed that his administration stopped "a lot of fights," including India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Rwanda and Congo.
"We did a job with India and Pakistan and Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda and the Congo. And this was all over the last three weeks or so. And we stopped a lot of fights," Trump said.
"I think a very big one, frankly, a very, very big one was India and Pakistan, and we stopped that over trade. We're dealing with India, we're dealing with Pakistan, and we said we're not going to be dealing with you at all if you are going to fight. And they were maybe at a nuclear stage. They're both nuclear powers. And I think stopping that was very important," he added.
Trump also blamed his predecessor Joe Biden for the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and claimed that he would never have let the war start if he were the president.
"We're trying to help out with a Biden-created monster. This whole thing that's happening with Russia and Ukraine, it's horrible, it's a horrible thing. And I'm not happy with President Putin at all. But this is something that would have never happened if I were president. This is a war that was never going to happen."
This comes as Netanyahu presented Trump a letter he sent to the Prize Committee , nominating the US President for the Peace Prize. Netanyahu claimed that Trump played an important role in "forging peace in one after another."
"I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it," Netanyahu said as Trump hosted him for talks at the White House.
Trump has received multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations from supporters and lawmakers over the years. He has openly expressed frustration about not receiving the prestigious award.
He has also sought credit for helping maintain peace between Egypt and Ethiopia, and for brokering the Abraham Accords agreements aimed at normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
Trump campaigned as a "peacemaker," promising to use his negotiating skills to quickly end wars in Ukraine and Gaza. However, both conflicts continue to rage even after five months of his presidency.
