Former President Donald Trump recently asserted that he had stopped “seven wars” and reiterated a claim regarding an India-Pakistan truce. Speaking at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder’s Dinner, Mr. Trump stated his belief that each of these interventions should be recognized with a Nobel Peace Prize. He recounted a discussion where he was reportedly informed that resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict could earn him the prize, to which he responded by emphasizing his alleged seven conflict resolutions, including the “big one” of India and Pakistan.
Mr. Trump identified several conflicts he contended were resolved, listing India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Rwanda and the Congo. He attributed 60% of these resolutions to trade-based strategies. He further detailed his approach concerning India, stating he warned of trade cessation if hostilities continued, particularly given their nuclear arsenals, to forge peace agreements and stop wars.
However, both India and Pakistan have publicly rejected claims of third-party mediation in their military engagements. India specifically dismissed any external intervention in the cessation of military operations against Pakistan, while Islamabad similarly denied third-party mediation during “Operation Sindoor,” thereby contradicting Mr. Trump’s assertions of U.S.-brokered peace between the two nations.
