Donald Trump has been crowned the ‘Peace President’ by the White House after announcing a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Despite claiming to have settled ‘seven’ global conflicts, Trump remains skeptical about winning the Nobel Peace Prize, set to be announced Friday.
Trump’s peace push includes brokering talks between India and Pakistan – a claim denied by New Delhi – and ongoing efforts in Russia-Ukraine. Nominations rolled in from countries like Pakistan for his role in the India-Pakistan crisis, even post-deadline.
‘I have no idea… Marco would tell you we settled seven wars. We’re close to settling an eighth. I think we’ll end up settling the Russia situation…I don’t think anybody in history has settled that many,’ Trump said.
The White House amplified the hype by sharing an image of Trump captioned ‘The Peace President,’ contrasting his own doubts that the Nobel Committee might ‘find a reason’ not to award him, unlike Barack Obama’s early win.
Trump’s long-standing Nobel envy fuels this saga – has his diplomatic flair finally earned the spotlight, or will politics get in the way? Share if you’ve got an opinion on who deserves it most.
