Trump says he should get Nobel Prize for ending ‘seven wars’, including India-Pakistan conflict

US President Donald Trump reportedly expressed his desire for a Nobel Peace Prize as he spoke about ending "seven wars" -- including the May conflict between India and Pakistan.

According to PTI news agency, Trump said on Saturday that he was told he should win the Nobel Prize if he could stop the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

"I said, 'Well, what about the seven others? I should get a Nobel Prize for each one'. So they said, 'but if you stop Russia and Ukraine, sir, you should be able to get the Nobel'. I said I stopped seven wars. That's one war, and that's a big one," Trump said.

The US President repeated the claim that he solved the India-Pakistan conflict earlier this year with trade. "On the world stage, we are once again doing things that we are just respected at a level that we have never been respected before," he said.

"We are forging peace agreements, and we are stopping wars. So we stopped wars between India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia," Trump said on Saturday at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder's Dinner.

'Stopped India-Pak conflict with trade'

Trump was quoted by PTI as saying, "Think of India and Pakistan. Think of that. And you know how I stopped that — with trade. They want to trade. And I have great respect for both leaders. But when you take a look at all of these wars that we've stopped."

"Just look at that. India, Pakistan, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Congo. We stopped all of them. And 60 per cent of them were stopped because of trade," the US president claimed.

He added that “like with India, I said, 'look, we're not going to do any trade if you're going to fight and they have nuclear weapons. They stopped.”

Trump's Nobel Peace campaign

According to reports, Donald Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine have reignited his campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize. Here are times when he spoke about getting a Nobel Peace Prize himself:

2019

In February 2019, Donald Trump claimed Japan's then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had nominated him following his 2018 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, where they discussed the country's nuclear weapons programme.

According to the New York Times, Trump had then boasted that Abe had given him “the most beautiful copy of a letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called the Nobel Prize.”

2020

In January 2020, Trump complained that he, instead of Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Ali oversaw his country signing a peace deal in its border conflict with Eritrea.

Referencing his own involvement in the peace talks, which were largely led by Saudi Arabia, Trump told an election rally in Ohio: "I'm going to tell you about the Nobel Peace Prize, I'll tell you about that. I made a deal, I saved a country, and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country.

2024

Ahead of his second election win in 2024, Trump had told his supporters in Detroit: "If I were named Obama, I would have had the Nobel Prize given to me in 10 seconds."

Former US President Barak Obama had won the prize just nine months into his presidency for "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

2025

In February this year, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump said, as per Sky News, "They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me."

Besides, during his summit with Ukrainian and European leaders on August 18, Trump said: "If you look at the six deals I settled this year, they were all at war. I didn't do any ceasefires."

On August 19, he corrected himself, telling Fox News: "We ended seven wars."

In June 2025, he had said, “...I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo...”

“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River)…,” he had said.

"…and I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in “The Ages!,” the US President had said in a post on Truth Social media.

He added, “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!”
