US President Donald Trump has made sweeping claims about his role in global peace, saying he personally settled eight wars during his leadership. Speaking at a public event, Trump alleged that tensions between India and Pakistan had escalated to the point where fighter jets were shot down and a nuclear confrontation was imminent, but he stepped in and stopped it “in rapid order.” He also claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin had acknowledged his efforts to end long-running conflicts. Trump added that Pakistan’s prime minister publicly credited him with saving millions of lives by preventing war in South Asia. On the basis of these claims, Trump said no one in history deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than him, arguing that his interventions helped avert major global catastrophes.
