The American President, Donald Trump, never seems to shy away from ambition. His desire for the Nobel Peace Prize is as vibrant as ever. Trump had penned a letter regarding the Nobel Prize to Norway's Prime Minister. Once again, Trump has stirred the conversation about the Nobel Prize and his role in easing tensions between India and Pakistan. He remarked that the Nobel Peace Prize is under Norway's control, stating that it rightfully belongs to him.
While staking his claim for the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump declared that he has ended eight wars, saving millions of lives in the process. Though he maintains that he doesn't care about the Nobel Prize, he does care about saving lives. President Trump was speaking to reporters after attending a college football championship match in Miami, USA.
Trump emphasized, 'I am not concerned about the Nobel Prize. A truly outstanding woman, Maria Machado, believed I deserve it and wished for me to receive it, for which I am grateful.' Trump added, 'Anyone who thinks Norway doesn't control the Nobel Prize is joking. There is a board for the Nobel, but Norway indeed has control. What Norway states doesn't bother me.'
Boasting about saving over a million lives, Trump reiterated his claim of halting the India-Pakistan war, noting their status as nuclear powers. 'Many countries engaged in wars for 30 or even 35 years. I've ended that legacy. We've stopped eight wars, and perhaps a ninth one shortly,' he stated.

President Trump has reiterated his claim regarding the halted India-Pakistan conflict approximately 80 times. However, India consistently rejects any mediation by a third party. Trump has also stated that no one in history deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than he does. He criticized former U.S. President Barack Obama, who received the prize shortly after taking office in 2009, suggesting Obama hadn't accomplished anything at that point.
What Trump Said on Macron's Refusal
On Wednesday, Trump is set to address the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos. Aside from WEF events, Trump will participate in the announcement of the Gaza Board of Peace Charter on Thursday. French President Emmanuel Macron refused the invitation to join this board, designed for ending the Gaza conflict and rebuilding Gaza.

He added, 'If he said that, there's no need for his participation.' Trump also mentioned inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the Board of Peace. He has also extended an invitation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to be part of this board.
Trump's Remarks on Court's Tariff Decision
When questioned about the tariff issue in the Supreme Court, Trump expressed uncertainty about the court's decision. He warned that if the government loses the case, America might have to return hundreds of billions of dollars in tariff fees. Trump expressed confidence in the legal validity of the tariffs, remarking that refunding collected amounts without affecting many would be exceptionally challenging.
