US President Donald Trump has once again claimed credit for resolving tensions between India and Pakistan earlier this year and suggested he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for “ending seven wars,” reported PTI. Speaking at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder's Dinner on Saturday, Trump said, “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.” He added that trade had been instrumental in resolving multiple conflicts, claiming, “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.” India-Pakistan conflict in May India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, as per PTI reports. After four days of cross-border drone and missile strikes, India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end hostilities. However, India has consistently stated that the ceasefire was reached through direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries’ militaries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Parliament that no foreign leader asked India to halt Operation Sindoor, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reiterated that there was no third-party intervention. Trump also commented on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, saying he had been told that stopping it could merit a Nobel Prize. “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.”
