India maintains that Islamabad reached out to New Delhi seeking a ceasefire, which was agreed upon between the two nations alone and neither Trump nor the US had any role to play. This was also conveyed to Trump during a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this week.
Trump, who has often claimed credit for defusing conflicts, reiterated his stance on Friday, saying he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for several achievements. These include his efforts related to India and Pakistan, and his role in brokering a treaty, expected to be signed Monday, aimed at ending hostilities between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. "I should have gotten it four or five times," Trump said. "They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals."
"I won't get a Nobel Prize for stopping the war between India and Pakistan. I won't get a Nobel Prize for stopping the war between Serbia and Kosovo, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping peace between Egypt and Ethiopia, and I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East...," Mr Trump posted on his Truth Social plarform.
"No, I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that's all that matters to me!" he added.
Amid growing diplomatic engagement, sources suggest that Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir held a private meeting with President Trump during visit to the United States. While no official statement has been released, insiders indicate the discussions focused on regional stability and security cooperation. The meeting is believed to have reinforced Pakistan's decision to publicly back Trump for the prestigious international award.
