Donald Trump Claims to Have Solved 8 Wars, Sets Sights on Pakistan-Afghanistan Conflict as "Easy" Peace Deal:

Washington, D.C. – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again made bold claims about his foreign policy achievements, stating that he has successfully "solved" eight international wars during his presidency and is now eyeing peace between Pakistan and Afghanistan — a conflict he labeled as “an easy one” to resolve. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump highlighted his record on conflict resolution, lamenting the lack of recognition from the international community, particularly the Nobel Peace Prize committee. “I solved eight wars. Go to Rwanda and the Congo. Look at India and Pakistan. Every time I solved a war, they said, ‘Solve one more, and you’ll get the Nobel Prize,’” Trump said. “I didn’t get a Nobel Prize. Somebody else got it — a very nice woman, I don’t know who she is, but she was very generous. I just care about saving lives.” Trump’s remarks come amid rising tensions in parts of South and Central Asia, particularly with reports of skirmishes or ongoing instability between Pakistan and Afghanistan. While the details of the current conflict remain complex and involve deep-rooted political and security issues, Trump appeared confident in his ability to mediate. “Although I do understand that Pakistan attacked, or there is an attack going on with Afghanistan. That’s an easy one for me to solve if I have to solve it,” he added. “In the meantime, I have to run the USA, but I love solving wars.” Claim of Solving India-Pakistan Conflict Rejected by New Delhi Among the eight conflicts Trump claimed to have resolved, he included peace between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan — a claim India has repeatedly denied. Indian officials have clarified that the understanding to de-escalate tensions with Pakistan was the result of direct talks between military leadership from both sides, specifically the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs), and not the result of third-party intervention. New Delhi has remained firm on its position that all issues with Pakistan, including those related to ceasefire violations and border management, are bilateral matters and do not require foreign mediation. A Pattern of Grand Claims Trump’s presidency was marked by unconventional diplomacy, including his high-profile meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and efforts to broker normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations — achievements that his supporters hail as groundbreaking, but which have also attracted skepticism and criticism from foreign policy experts. His latest statement revives his long-standing frustration with not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, despite what he views as significant contributions to global peace. “To the best of my knowledge, we’ve never had a president who solved one war. Not one war. Bush started a war… But I saved tens of millions of lives,” Trump said. Will Pakistan-Afghanistan Be "Number Nine"? Trump concluded by indicating that if he were to intervene, resolving the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan would be his ninth peace achievement. However, the complex nature of the Pak-Afghan relationship — shaped by decades of political instability, cross-border militancy, and competing regional interests — suggests that brokering lasting peace would require more than just high-level talks or bold rhetoric. Whether or not Trump’s claims will be taken seriously by diplomats and historians remains to be seen. However, they do reflect his continued interest in positioning himself as a global peacemaker — and potentially, his bid to reassert influence on the world stage as political winds shift ahead of future elections
