Trump makes bizarre world peace claim as he says he's responsible for stopping 6 wars

Donald Trump insisted many nations would be at war if it wasn't for him

Donald Trump insisted that he had taken steps to ensure 6 wars didn’t break out when speaking to reporters.

Earlier this month, Donald Trump's name was put forward for a Nobel Peace Prize and recently spoke to reporters about his alleged global peace keeping efforts.

At the beginning of the month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Donald Trump and explained that the US president would be his official nomination to the Nobel committee.

Netanyahu said: “He's forging peace as we speak, one country and one region after the other.”

More recently Trump has gone on a trip to the UK and met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland. He was boastful about his peaceful efforts on the global stage.

On Monday (July 28) speaking to reporters, Trump said: “We have many ceasefires going on. If I weren’t around, you’d have right now six major wars going on. India would be fighting with Pakistan.

"You see what we did just yesterday, with two nations that we’re trading with. And during the trade I said, I’m not going to do any trade deal unless you guys settle your differences. And we got it settled in 24 hours.

"Serbia-Kosovo is another one. We have many hotspots who were at war. I think a very big one was India and Pakistan, cause that's...you're talking about two nuclear nations. That was a very big one."

Trump also threw the UK leader a bone and insisted that the nation had helped the US deal with these issues.

He continued: “And we get help from the UK. The Prime Minister's help. We have cases where we specifically need the help, because somebody comes from here, that you're aware of, and you know when you come from a country, you can do things.

“I call up the PM and all of a sudden he's able to do things. True also with other Presidents and Prime Ministers. Nobody's ever done what we've done.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also stoked the fires for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize as she highlighted that Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a ceasefire.

Sharing an article on Twitter with the headline, Thailand and Cambodia agree to halt fighting that has killed dozens.

She captioned it: “President Trump made this happen. Give him the Nobel Peace Prize.”

The conflict has killed at least 35 people and displaced over 270,000 from both sides of the border.
