'Won't Get Nobel Peace Prize': Trump Reiterates He 'Stopped' India-Pak Conflict, Says 'People Know, That's What Matters'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) After a former Pentagon official hit out at Donald Trump over“his desire to win a Nobel Peace Prize”, the US President said on Saturday that he may not win the prestigious award for his work in the recently-brokered Rwanda-Congo deal, or for other international agreements which he believes he helped negotiate.

Trump also reiterated that he 'stopped' India-Pakistan conflict - a claim India has rejected multiple times. He also highlighted a“wonderful Treaty” that he said the US“arranged” between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of Rwanda.

“I am very happy to report that I have arranged, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful Treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of Rwanda, in their War, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars, and has gone on for decades. Representatives from Rwanda and the Congo will be in Washington on Monday to sign Documents,” Trump's post read.

It added,“This is a Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World!”

Later in the social media post, he said he won't get a Nobel Peace Prize“no matter what I do,” but“the people know, and that's all that matters to me!”

“I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River)...,” he said.
