New York/Washington, Jan 10: Claiming yet again that he solved the conflict between India and Pakistan, US President Donald Trump has said that “no one in history is more deserving than him” of the Nobel Peace Prize, as he criticised former President Barack Obama for getting the honour even though he “didn’t do anything”.
Trump reiterated his claim that eight jets were shot down in the conflict in May last year without clarifying to which country they belonged.
“Look whether people like Trump or don’t like Trump, I settled eight wars, big ones. Some going on for 36 years, 32 years, 31 years, 28 years, 25 years, some just getting ready to start like India and Pakistan, where already eight jets were shot out of the air,” Trump said.
The US president also said that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif credited him for saving millions of lives by stopping the conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. This is the second time in as many days that Trump has claimed credit for stopping the conflict between India and Pakistan, an assertion he has now made innumerable times since May 10 last year.
