Washington: US President Donald Trump has expressed disappointment over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming that his administration helped resolve eight international conflicts and arguing that the United States deserved recognition for its efforts.
Speaking at a Republican election rally in Syracuse, New York, on Friday, Trump criticised the Nobel Peace Prize committee for not recognising what he described as his administration’s achievements in resolving international disputes.
“The United States should have received the Nobel Peace Prize. But it didn’t,” Trump told supporters, describing the decision as an “indelible stain”.
Trump argued that each of the eight conflicts he claimed to have helped resolve was significant enough to merit a separate peace prize. He also called the failure to recognise these efforts embarrassing for the United States.
The US president further claimed that his administration had played a key role in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and averting a wider regional conflict.
He said his administration was continuing efforts to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war and address tensions involving Iran.
Trump’s remarks reflect his repeated calls for recognition of his role in international diplomacy. However, his claims about resolving eight conflicts and preventing a wider regional war were not independently established in the information provided.
