President Donald Trump, fresh off brokering a major Gaza ceasefire, has set his sights on resolving the ongoing border clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Speaking to reporters en route to Israel, Trump declared, 'This will be my eighth war that I have solved,' underscoring his confidence in his peace-making abilities. He said he would address the conflict after his return, emphasizing that it’s an honor to save millions of lives.
00:00In both of your elections, the biggest issues were the economy and immigration.
00:06Now you're getting credit from Democrats and Republicans for this Middle East peace deal.
00:10Where does it fit? Where do you think it fits into your legacy?
00:14Well, look, I solved, this will be my eighth war that I've solved.
00:20And I hear there's a war now going between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
00:25I said, I'll have to wait till I get back.
00:26You know, I'm doing another one because I'm good at solving wars.
00:31I'm good at making peace.
00:33And it's an honor to do it.
00:35I saved millions of lives, millions of lives.
00:37Now, in all fairness to the Nobel Committee, I was, it was for 19, it was for 2024.
00:44And this was picked for 2024.
00:49But there are those that say you can make an exception because a lot of things happened during 25 that are,
00:54that are done and complete and great.
00:58But I did this not for Nobel.
01:00I did this for, I did this for saving lives.
01:03I mean, we've saved millions of lives.
01:05Think about India, Pakistan.
01:06Think about some of the wars that were going on for years.
01:09We had one going for 31, one going for 32, one going for 37 years with millions of people being killed in every country.
01:17And I got every one of those done, for the most part, within a day.
01:22Pretty good.
01:23What do you think you can take from this, these negotiations and this peace process into Moscow and try to end the Russia-Ukraine war?
01:35Well, I think, I think what you can take is that never give up, just never give up.
01:39You know, last week they killed over 7,000 soldiers, mostly soldiers, and a little bit more, frankly, Russian soldiers than Ukraine soldiers last week.
01:50But think of it, every week they're losing from 5,000 to 7,000 soldiers.
01:54It's ridiculous.
01:54And I thought that would be one of my easier ones.
01:59I mean, when you settle something that's been going on for 31 and 32 years, that's, in theory, a lot harder than setting, you know, something that's been going on for three years.
02:10But this is a war going on for three years.
02:12Should have never started.
02:13Frankly, I give Ukraine credit for doing so well.
02:18I mean, they're good fighters.
02:20They're very good fighters.
02:21I think that, I really think that President Putin would look great if he got this settled.
02:27And I think he's going to settle it, but we're going to see.
02:29And if he doesn't, it's not going to be good for him.
02:32President Xi of China, you've been truthing about another world leader.
02:36You said not to worry about China, but he's been putting out some tough statements in regards to your tariffs, sir.
02:42Are you planning to speak with him when's the last time you spoke?
02:44We're not putting out tough statements because we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, not only from China, from other countries.
02:50Because we've become a wealthy country again.
02:53And the tariffs have given us a diplomatic strength.
02:56They've given us negotiating strength.
02:58I settled a few of the wars just based on tariffs.
03:01I said with, as an example, with India and with Pakistan, I said, if you guys want to fight a war and you have nuclear weapons,
03:07I'm going to put big tariffs on you both, like 100 percent, 150 and 200 percent.
03:12I said, no, no, no, don't do that.
03:14I said, I'm putting tariffs.
03:15I had that thing settled in 24 hours.
03:17If I didn't have tariffs, you could have never settled that war.
