Nobel Peace Prize
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asserted on Thursday that President Donald Trump has successfully brokered multiple peace deals and ceasefires in various global conflict zones. Highlighting that these agreements average one per month, Leavitt reiterated her call for the President to be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
During a press briefing, Leavitt began by discussing the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. She stated, “On the peace front, President Trump facilitated an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, which had seen a deadly conflict displace over 300,000 people until he intervened.”
The ceasefire was announced by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), who mediated discussions between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai at his residence in Kuala Lumpur, as reported by CNN.
Leavitt emphasized that Trump personally communicated with both leaders, warning them that without a resolution to their conflict, there would be no trade discussions or agreements with the United States. “Almost instantly, a peace agreement was reached that would save countless lives and allow trade negotiations to resume,” she added.
She went on to state that Trump has resolved conflicts not just between Thailand and Cambodia, but also between Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia. “This demonstrates that President Trump has facilitated about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It is high time he received the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Trump has previously taken credit for easing tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly following India’s decisive response to Pakistan’s aggression after strikes on terrorist infrastructure. However, India has disputed these claims, maintaining that it addresses all issues related to the Jammu and Kashmir Union territory directly with Pakistan.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated in the Lok Sabha regarding Operation Sindoor that no international leader interfered with India’s operations. “On the night of May 9, the Vice President of America tried to reach me, but I was engaged in a meeting with my military,” Modi recounted. “When I returned his call, he warned that Pakistan was planning a major attack. My response was clear: Should Pakistan proceed with its intentions, the consequences will be severe. If they attack, we will retaliate decisively.”
India initiated Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in reaction to the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in 26 civilian deaths. Following this, India successfully countered subsequent aggression from Pakistan and targeted its airbases.
A cessation of hostilities was eventually established after communication between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of both countries.
