US President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his claim of brokering peace between India and Pakistan and lamented that he won’t be honoured with a Nobel Peace prize for “stopping” a possible war between the two countries last month.
India, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a recent meeting, has repeatedly asserted that a ceasefire between New Delhi and Islamabad was a result of direct military talks and Washington was never roped in for mediation.
“I won’t get a Nobel Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan. I won’t get a Nobel Prize for stopping the war between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping peace between Egypt and Ethiopia, and I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East…,” Mr Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!” he added.
The US President made the remarks as he took credit for a peace deal negotiated in Washington between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. “This is a Great Day for Africa and quite Frankly, a Great Day for the World. I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this..,” he said.
