Donald Trump is once again putting himself forward for the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming that he deserves the honor for single-handedly ending “eight wars” in just nine months. His renewed push for the prize comes as the Norwegian Nobel Committee prepares to announce its 2025 laureate, with experts widely expecting the former U.S. President to be overlooked.

The Eight Conflicts Trump Claims to Have Resolved
The list of disputes or ceasefires that Trump credits to his intervention includes:
| Conflict/Dispute | Claimed Status |
| Israel and Iran | Ceasefire/Resolution |
| India and Pakistan | Mediation/Resolution |
| Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda | Resolution |
| Cambodia and Thailand | Ceasefire/Resolution |
| Armenia and Azerbaijan | Resolution |
| Egypt and Ethiopia (over the Nile dam) | Resolution |
| Serbia and Kosovo | Resolution |
| Israel–Hamas truce in Gaza | “Everlasting peace” (Claimed as the 8th conflict) |
Key Points of Contention
The claim that these eight disputes constitute “wars” that were definitively “ended” is highly disputed:
- India’s Position: India has repeatedly rejected Trump’s claim of mediating between New Delhi and Islamabad, insisting that all issues with Pakistan are strictly bilateral.
- The Prize Committee: The Norwegian Nobel Committee is reportedly readying for the potential “fallout” of snubbing Trump once again, suggesting their decision has already been made.
- Support: While Trump claims “everyone” says he should win, his version of “everyone” primarily includes supportive governments like Pakistan, Cambodia, and Israel, as well as Gabon, Rwanda, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
Trump concluded that regardless of the prize outcome, his motive was noble: “I didn’t do it for that. I did it because I saved a lot of lives.”
