Trump Claims Credit for Ending Eight Wars and Questions Nobel Peace Prize Recognition

GOOBJOOG NEWS|WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has claimed that he played a major role in resolving eight wars and is close to ending or securing agreements in two others. He also criticised the decision not to award him or the United States the Nobel Peace Prize.

In a social media post, Trump said all Israeli hostages had been returned, including the final 28, who were described as both living and deceased. He added that hundreds of hostages from different countries had also been released.

Trump argued that the diplomatic efforts he led had significantly changed conflicts in several parts of the world. He said agreements and negotiations helped reduce violence, open humanitarian aid routes and secure the return of people held in difficult conditions.

The president also described the United States as instrumental in pressuring opposing sides to return to negotiations. According to Trump, Washington used diplomacy, political pressure and international cooperation to reach agreements aimed at ending wars.

However, his claims have prompted debate and questions about the number of conflicts he says he resolved and the extent of his involvement in the agreements.

Some analysts note that resolving international conflicts usually involves several governments, international organisations and years of diplomatic work, making it difficult to credit a single leader with the outcome.

Trump nevertheless made clear his disappointment at not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. He argued that his efforts to end conflicts and secure the release of hostages should have placed him and the United States among those considered for the award.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually to a person, group or organisation judged to have made a significant contribution to peace, conflict resolution or international cooperation. The Nobel Committee makes its decision independently, and its selections frequently generate disagreement among political leaders and the wider international community.
