Donald Trump reiterates claim of mediating India-Pakistan tensions, expressing frustration over Nobel Peace Prize omission, while India firmly denies any foreig
Former US President Donald Trump has again asserted that he played a key role in de-escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, suggesting he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts, though he admitted he “won’t get it.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump listed several global conflicts he claims to have helped defuse, including between Serbia and Kosovo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and through the Abraham Accords in the Middle East. Among these, he highlighted the India-Pakistan standoff, claiming responsibility for preventing a full-scale war.
Trump’s remarks follow the recent conflict escalation between India and Pakistan after the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. India responded with precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7, with Pakistan launching retaliatory attempts between May 8–10. The standoff ended after a direct military-to-military understanding was reached between the two sides' Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) on May 10. India has maintained that no external mediation played a role in the ceasefire.
In a recent telephonic conversation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly told Trump that India does not accept any form of foreign mediation on its bilateral matters with Pakistan. Modi further clarified that no discussion of American intervention or trade deal occurred during the recent events surrounding Operation Sindoor. India has long maintained a position of strategic autonomy in regional matters, especially concerning Pakistan. Trump’s claims have drawn criticism in Indian diplomatic circles, which insist that the ceasefire resulted solely from direct dialogue and not third-party influence, reinforcing India’s long-standing policy on the matter.
