Donald Trump reignited his mediation pitch between India and Pakistan, boasting that he had 'settled 7 wars' during his presidency. Speaking at a rally, Trump said he 'respects both PM Narendra Modi and PM Shehbaz Sharif,' hinting at his role as a global peacemaker amid ongoing South Asian tensions.
00:00We stopped wars between India, Pakistan, India and Pakistan. Think of that. And you know how I stopped that? With trade. They want to trade. And I have great respect for both leaders. 60% of them were stopped because of trade. Like with India, I said, look, we're not going to do any trade if you're going to fight. And they have nuclear weapons. They stopped.
00:21It's made us a rich country and it's made us a powerful country because of tariffs and trade. We've been able to stop seven different wars. Think of it because I said, well, then you're not going to trade with us anymore. You don't fix yourself up on the world stage.
00:36We're once again doing things that we're just respected at, I think, a level that we've never been respected before. We're forging peace agreements and we're stopping wars. So we stopped wars between India, Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia and Thailand.
00:54I'll tell you, Thailand was, they were going at it hot and heavy. And these were wars that were not stoppable. Most of them, Armenia and Azerbaijan going on for years. They came to my office, the two leaders, two great guys. One was there 22 years. One was there seven. And they both said during the entire term of their office, all they did was kill people on the other side.
01:18And now they're sitting in my office and they're at the Oval Office. It's pretty wide. And they had one over here, one over there. And slowly over the course of about an hour, they came close. And at the end of an hour, we were hugging each other and holding hands. It was an amazing thing.
01:34And we settled that war. That was not settleable, as the expression goes. Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one. Think of that. We have, let's see, Cambodia, Armenia. We have Kosovo, Serbia, Israel, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia. That's a beauty.
01:57They built a little dam in Ethiopia. That's like the largest dam in the world. And it affects water going to the Nile. Would you say that's a problem? I would say that's a big problem.
02:07So with all of these things that we've done, think of India and Pakistan. Think of that. And you know how I stopped that with trade. They want to trade. And I have great respect for both leaders.
02:18But when you take a look at all of these wars that we've stopped and they said, so think, just look at that. India, Pakistan, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Congo, right?
02:42We stopped all of them. And 60% of them were stopped because of trade. Like with India, I said, look, we're not going to do any trade if you're going to fight.
02:51And they have nuclear weapons. I stopped. And then I was told that if you can stop Russia and Ukraine, you should get the Nobel Prize.
03:02I said, well, what about the seven others? I should get a Nobel Prize for each one.
03:05No, they said, but if you stop, think of that. But if you stop Russia and Ukraine, sir, you should be able to get the Nobel Prize.
03:15I said, I stopped seven wars. That's one war and that's a big one. But all of these, actually, that was the one I thought would be easiest for because I have a good relationship with President Putin.
03:27I'm disappointed in him, but I do. I thought that would be the easiest one, but we'll get it done one way or the other.
03:33But I also obliterated Iran's nuclear hopes by totally annihilating their enriched uranium.
03:45And I'll tell you what, those planes, those beautiful B-2 bombers, those beautiful, we call them wings.
03:51We just ordered 20 more of the updated version. We don't need an update. Just give me the same one.
