Art of deal: Trump cites conflicts round the globe to back Netanyahu's Nobel push; 'Stopped a lot of fights'
NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated that he played a key role in brokering a peace deal between several countries, including India and Pakistan, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump claimed that his administration stopped "a lot of fights," including India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Rwanda and Congo. "We did a job with India and Pakistan and Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda and the Congo. And this was all over the last three weeks or so. And we stopped a lot of fights," Trump said. "I think a very big one, frankly, a very, very big one was India and Pakistan, and we stopped that over trade. We're dealing with India, we're dealing with Pakistan, and we said we're not going to be dealing with you at all if you are going to fight. And they were maybe at a nuclear stage. They're both nuclear powers. And I think stopping that was very important," he added. Trump also blamed his predecessor Joe Biden for the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and claimed that he would never have let the war start if he were the president. "We're trying to help out with a Biden-created monster. This whole thing that's happening with Russia and Ukraine, it's horrible, it's a horrible thing. And I'm not happy with President Putin at all. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo But this is something that would have never happened if I were president. This is a war that was never going to happen." This comes as Netanyahu presented Trump a letter he sent to the Prize Committee, nominating the US President for the Peace Prize. Netanyahu claimed that Trump played an important role in "forging peace in one after another." "I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it," Netanyahu said as Trump hosted him for talks at the White House. Trump has received multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations from supporters and lawmakers over the years. He has openly expressed frustration about not receiving the prestigious award. He has also sought credit for helping maintain peace between Egypt and Ethiopia, and for brokering the Abraham Accords agreements aimed at normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations. Trump campaigned as a "peacemaker," promising to use his negotiating skills to quickly end wars in Ukraine and Gaza. However, both conflicts continue to rage even after five months of his presidency.

'Close to making deal with India': Trump announces as US slaps tariffs on 14 nations
US President Donald Trump warned that nations not ready to bow down to US terms will be punished with new tariffs read more US President Donald Trump on Monday (July 7) announced that his administration was 'close to' reaching a trade deal with India, as Washington imposed fresh tariffs on several nations. 'We've made a deal with the United Kingdom. We've made a deal with China. We are close to making a deal with India,' Trump told reporters at the White House during a private dinner with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump warned that nations not ready to bow down to US terms will also be punished with new tariffs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Others we met with, and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter,' Trump said. 'We're sending out letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay.' Deal with India Trump in his statement didn't mention about the nature and scope of the deal with India; however, he signalled his willingness to offer flexibility to countries raising legitimate concerns. 'Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause,' he added. 'We're not going to be unfair about it.' Earlier, media reports emerged that India had made the US aware of its certain red lines, including its concerns in dairy and agricultural sector. The reports said US negotiators have acknowledged India's concerns, and they are mulling offering 'limited relief' on dairy products. India is meanwhile considering offering tariff concessions on certain US-made electronic goods. Trump previously noted that India seems open to reducing trade barriers, which could pave the way for an agreement before the July 9 deadline. 'Right now, India doesn't accept anybody in. I think India is going to do that. If they do, we're going to have a deal for less—much less—tariffs,' Trump remarked, referencing the 26% reciprocal tariffs he announced on April 2, which are currently suspended pending trade negotiations. Trump's recent remarks on trade deal with India come as the US administration on Monday expanded tariffs on imports from Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, Laos, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Tunisia, Indonesia, Bosnia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Cambodia, and Thailand. The tariff slabs will come into effect from August 1, according to letters posted by Donald Trump on Truth Social. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause, we're not going to be unfair about it.' 5.

They are very different now than they were two weeks ago.' 7. 'I would love to be able to, at the right time, take those sanctions off, give them a chance at rebuilding, because I'd like to see Iran build itself back up in a peaceful manner, and not going around saying, 'death to America,' 'death to the USA,' 'death to Israel,' as they were doing,' Trump said about removing sanctions imposed on Iran. 8. Trump said Hamas was willing to agree a truce with Israel, as he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push for an end to the Gaza war. 'They want to meet and they want to have that ceasefire,' he told reporters at the White House. 9. On Russia-Ukraine war, the US President said, 'We are going to send some more weapons (to Ukraine). They have to be able to defend themselves. They are getting hit very hard. So many people are dying in that mess.' 10. Trump lamented the thousands of people who have been killed and said he wasn't happy with President Vladimir Putin for keeping up attacks. 'I'm disappointed, frankly, that President Putin hasn't stopped,' Trump said. 'I'm not happy about it.'
