U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited debate in the United States with remarks linking his global peace efforts to his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize — and, as he put it, “to enter heaven.”
Speaking during talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky aimed at advancing peace with Russia, Trump claimed credit for mediating or ending six wars — a figure he later raised to seven in a Fox News interview.
He emphasized his ambition to be remembered as a peacemaker, saying: “I truly want to enter heaven by spreading peace.”
However, how did Trump interfere to stop these wars and do they really nominate him to win the Nobel Peace Prize?
6 Wars Nominate Trump to the Nobel Peace Prize.
Armenia and Azerbaijan
Trump highlighted his recent push to bring Armenia and Azerbaijan closer to peace, hosting their leaders at the White House for a joint declaration.
The agreement, which includes a U.S.-backed transit corridor dubbed the “Trump Road to Peace and Prosperity,” aims to boost economic integration between Europe, Azerbaijan, and Central Asia.
However, key obstacles remain, including border disputes and constitutional issues related to Nagorno-Karabakh.
Congo and Rwanda
In June, Trump welcomed diplomats from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to the Oval Office, where they signed a U.S.-backed peace initiative.
While initially hailed as a breakthrough, fighting soon resumed in eastern Congo, with rebel groups accusing the government of violating the terms.
India and Pakistan
Trump also took credit for defusing military tensions between India and Pakistan after a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir.
Both nations acknowledged U.S. mediation, and Pakistan even nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his efforts.
Iran and Israel
Trump pointed to his role in halting a short but dangerous escalation between Israel and Iran.
Following nearly two weeks of airstrikes, including U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, Washington brokered a ceasefire that prevented the conflict from spiraling further.
Cambodia and Thailand
After deadly clashes between Cambodia and Thailand left dozens killed and thousands displaced, Trump leveraged U.S. trade negotiations to pressure both sides into halting hostilities.
Talks mediated in Malaysia led to a ceasefire agreement.
Egypt and Ethiopia
Trump also weighed in on the long-running Nile River dispute over Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam. While no resolution has been reached, his administration attempted to mediate between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia.
Despite Trump’s bold claims of ending wars, several conflicts — including Russia’s war in Ukraine and Israel’s ongoing offensive in Gaza — remain unresolved.
Analysts note that while Trump’s interventions have occasionally produced ceasefires, lasting peace agreements remain elusive.
