POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump has once again urged the Nobel Committee to consider him for the Peace Prize, citing his supposed success in ending eight conflicts during his tenure. However, the claim comes as negotiations with Iran remain stalled and no meaningful resolution has been reached.

The president made the remarks during a press briefing following an event promoting his “Trump accounts” for children, marking one of several campaign stops across the country. No president has probably ever settled any wars. I settled eight wars, Trump stated, emphasizing his accomplishments without providing evidence to back the claim.

Trump’s assertion that he has resolved eight conflicts includes disputes that were never actual wars, such as tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, which did not involve armed combat during his time in office. Another conflict on his list, the U.S.-Iran dispute, remains unresolved and has escalated into a broader regional crisis. Despite this, Trump insisted the war was “won” from a strategic standpoint, claiming the U.S. had neutralized Iran’s nuclear capabilities and weakened its military.
