Trump: "I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize" for my efforts in resolving international conflicts
U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Saturday evening that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, justifying this by his efforts, as he said, to end several conflicts around the world.
This came during a speech he delivered at the fourth annual dinner for the founders of the "American Cornerstone" Institute in Virginia, where Trump said: "We worked to stop wars between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Iran and Israel."
He added, addressing the Ukrainian crisis: "I thought ending the war between Russia and Ukraine would be the easiest due to my good relationship with President Putin, but I was disappointed in him." He continued, affirming: "We will resolve the issue between Russia and Ukraine one way or another."
Trump emphasized this point by saying: "He deserves to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his work in ending several wars around the world."
Trump moved on to the Iranian file, announcing: "We eliminated Iran's nuclear dreams by destroying their enriched uranium." He also addressed the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, saying: "There will be no repeat of any embarrassing incidents in Afghanistan related to us like those that occurred in the previous presidency."
Regarding regional issues, Trump discussed the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam crisis, describing it as a "big problem," commenting: "They built a dam in Ethiopia that affects the waters of the Nile River."
Trump concluded his speech on domestic issues, threatening: "The next stop in fighting crime is Chicago," in an accusation directed at the Democrats, saying: "We do not like crime, but the Democrats love it."
