POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump has once again called for a Nobel Peace Prize, asserting he has resolved eight conflicts during his time in office, despite ongoing tensions with Iran and no significant progress on a lasting ceasefire.

During a press briefing, Trump emphasized his diplomatic achievements, stating that no previous president had ever settled wars, while also criticizing former President Barack Obama for receiving the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize without clear justification. He claimed the award was given too early in Obama’s term, before any substantial action was taken.

The claim of ending eight wars is disputed, as several of the conflicts cited by Trump were not actual wars, including disputes between Serbia and Kosovo that never escalated into armed conflict. Meanwhile, the U.S.-Iran conflict, which Trump initiated, remains unresolved, with no sign of a meaningful truce. The president also reiterated his assertion that the war in Iran was already won, though it continues to affect global oil prices and regional stability.
