The White House has renewed its call for a Nobel Peace Prize for US President Donald Trump, claiming he has ended six major global conflicts in his first six months in office.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that Trump has “brokered one peace deal or ceasefire per month” since taking office, calling it “well past time” for him to be honoured with the prestigious award.
“President Trump has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia,” Leavitt said.
The administration credits Trump with negotiating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May, after New Delhi launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan’s terror infrastructure — a claim India has publicly denied.
Trump has repeatedly touted his role in resolving tensions between nations, citing not only the India–Pakistan situation but also peace efforts in Rwanda, Congo, Serbia, Kosovo, Egypt, and Ethiopia.
“They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda… and the big one is India and Pakistan,” Trump said last month, adding that his diplomatic record speaks for itself.
The White House’s statement comes amid Trump’s ongoing trade disputes with several countries, including India, even as it seeks to highlight his foreign policy successes.
