Ended 5 wars in 5 months, including one between India & Pakistan: Trump

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed he has prevented five international wars in the past five months, including a conflict between India and Pakistan, while blaming former President Joe Biden for the ongoing war in Ukraine.

“I stopped five wars in the last five months actually, and I’d like this to be the sixth, frankly,” Trump said, referring to the Ukraine war. “This is Biden’s war, and we’re working very hard to get us out.”

He then listed off unnamed conflicts he claims to have ended, tossing in a startling inclusion: “The other ones I stopped within a matter of days, almost every one of them — including India and Pakistan.”

The president added, with his usual flair for drama: “I could go over the whole list,” Trump said, “but you know the list as well as I do.”

His latest remarks come just days after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the president deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering peace deals around the world, including the India-Pakistan conflict.

However, India has repeatedly rejected any third-party mediation in the ceasefire, stating that no foreign leader asked India to halt its military operations.

Last Sunday, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, criticising radio host and author Charlamagne Tha God. He stated that Charlamagne "knows nothing" about Trump’s accomplishments, including "ending 5 Wars," such as the 31-year conflict between the Republic of the Congo and Rwanda that caused seven million deaths.

"He didn't know that, or India and Pakistan or wiping out Iran's nuclear capabilities, or closing the horrendous open Border, or creating the greatest economy," Trump added.
