Trump at UN Claims Credit for Ending India-Pakistan War, Dismisses Nobel Talk: “I Only Care About Saving Lives”

In his first address to the United Nations General Assembly since 2020, former U.S. President Donald Trump outlined his foreign policy vision, emphasizing a record of conflict resolution and border security. Speaking without a teleprompter, Trump criticized the previous administration for involving the U.S. in “disastrous wars” and asserted that his leadership restored global peace and respect for America.

Among his stated achievements, Trump claimed he ended what he termed “unendable wars,” specifically referencing conflicts between India and Pakistan a claim previously denied by the Indian government. He questioned the UN’s effectiveness, stating the organization fails to live up to its potential and relies on “empty words” instead of decisive action.

Addressing frequent speculation about the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump appeared to downplay the accolade’s significance, remarking, “everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize,” but added that his focus is on saving lives rather than winning awards.

The speech also highlighted immigration enforcement, with Trump vowing to deport those entering the U.S. illegally, and praised trade deals negotiated during his May Middle East trip. Ahead of the address, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previewed it as a major foreign policy statement that would put “globalists on notice.”

Trump is scheduled to meet with leaders from several Muslim-majority nations, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
