As US President Donald Trump addressed the press at White House on Tuesday, he once again repeated his claim that he prevented a potential war between India and Pakistan in May 2025 as the two countries were engaged in heightened military escalation following Operation Sindoor.
“I ended eight unendable wars in 10 months…Pakistan and India. They were really going at it. Eight planes were shot down. They were going to go nuclear, in my opinion. The Prime Minister of Pakistan was here and he said, President Trump saved 10 million people and maybe much more than that,” he said while addressing the media at White House on Tuesday (US time), to mark the first anniversary of the start of his second term.
Trump further claimed that he deserved the Nobel Prize for each war. “But I don’t say that. I saved millions and millions of people. Don’t let anyone tell you that Norway doesn’t control the shots, okay? It’s in Norway. Norway controls the shots…That’s why I have such respect for Maria, doing what she did. She said, I don’t deserve the Nobel Prize. He does,” Trump said while referring to Venezuelan politician Maria Machado who recently presented her peace prize medal to Trump, prompting a stern message from the Nobel foundation.
