Trump’s l of works
He started his post mentioning that he is “very happy” to report that he, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has arranged a “wonderful” treaty between Congo and Rwanda, in their war, which was known for “violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars, and has gone on for decades”. He said that representatives from Rwanda and Congo will be in Washington on Monday to sign relevant documents.

Further, Trump went on to describe it as a “Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World!” However, he added that he won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for any of his efforts. He added:
“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia…”
Among other prominent mentions were his work in arranging a treaty between Congo and Rwanda, his interventions in the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Iran conflicts, and his past efforts in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords.
On the Abraham Accords, Trump said that if all goes well it “will be loaded to the brim” with additional countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in “The Ages!”Story continues below this ad

Trump also addressed two major ongoing conflicts that are showing very slim chances of slowing — the Israel-Iran tensions and the Russia-Ukraine war.
“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me.”
He signed off with:
“But the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!”
On similar lines, news agency AP on Friday quoted the President as saying that he should have gotten he award “four or five times”. “They won’t give me a Nobel Peace Prize because they only give it to liberals,” he added.
Why Pakan ‘formally recommended’ Trump
The US President demonstrated “great strategic foresight” and “stellar statesmanship” during the escalation between India and Pakan in April-May, according to a statement from Islamabad.
The statement said: “President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond.”Story continues below this ad
Pakan added that Trump’s intervention “stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker,” claiming his efforts de-escalated tensions. It also noted Trump’s “offers” to resolve the Kashmir issue.
The broader conflict mentioned was triggered after the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam which killed 26 civilians. After India retailiated with ‘Operation Sindoor’, a four-night military confrontation between the two neighbouring countries led to one of the most expansive outbreak of hostilities including cross-border shelling and drone attacks.
On May 10, Trump had claimed on social media that India and Pakan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated Washington. He has since repeated that claim multiple times.
India’s rejection of US mediation claim
Indian officials have strongly denied that any third-party mediation played a role in the ceasefire. India maintains that the agreement to halt military actions came after direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations, initiated Pakan.Story continues below this ad
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in a video message that Prime Miner Modi clearly conveyed to Trump that at “no point” during the days following Operation Sindoor, was US mediation discussed.

He also rejected any link between the ceasefire and the proposed India-US trade deal that Trump had claimed in earlier remarks.
Earlier this week, Trump hosted Pakan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir for lunch at the White House. Speaking afterward in the Oval Office, Trump said, “I want to thank him for not going into the war… ending the war.” He added that he had recently spoken with Prime Miner Modi and said that trade talks with both India and Pakan were ongoing.
