Donald Trump has reiterated his role in defusing several global conflicts, using the occasion to support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s nomination of him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaking during Netanyahu’s visit to the White House, Trump welcomed the nomination and said his administration helped stop multiple international confrontations, including tensions between India and Pakistan. “We did a job with India and Pakistan, and Serbia and Kosovo, Rwanda and the Congo. And this was all over the last three weeks or so. We stopped a lot of fights,” Trump said.
He highlighted the India-Pakistan situation as especially dangerous, claiming it was on the verge of a nuclear confrontation. “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,” he added.
Netanyahu praised Trump’s efforts in mediating peace agreements and said he played an essential role in forging diplomatic breakthroughs across the globe. Handing over the nomination letter, Netanyahu said, “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.”
Trump also pointed to the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab countries, as a major achievement under his leadership. He further claimed success in easing tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
In contrast, Trump sharply criticized President Joe Biden for the ongoing war in Ukraine. “We’re trying to help out with a Biden-created monster. This whole thing that’s happening with Russia and Ukraine is horrible. And I’m not happy with President Putin at all. But this is something that would have never happened if I were president,” he stated.
Trump has long voiced frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize despite multiple nominations from lawmakers and global supporters. He has consistently portrayed himself as a dealmaker who prioritizes diplomacy over conflict, especially during campaign events and international summits.
During his recent campaign events, Trump renewed his pledge to quickly end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, asserting that both conflicts would be resolved swiftly under his leadership. However, despite five months in office, both wars continue with no clear resolution in sight.

The Nobel Peace Prize nomination comes at a time when Netanyahu seeks to consolidate international alliances, and Trump aims to reinforce his image as a global statesman. While it remains unclear how the Nobel Committee will respond, the nomination and Trump’s renewed focus on peace initiatives have sparked fresh debate on his diplomatic legacy.
