President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed that he “stopped” seven wars since becoming the US President. This was a new twist in the 79-year-old’s claims around stopping wars, as previously he had claimed that he stopped six wars.
The President was speaking to reporters on Tuesday from the Oval Office as he made a major announcement of relocating the US Air Force base from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama. The presser was highly anticipated, as it marked Trump’s first public appearance after several weeks.
Trump’s claim to stop the wars has come amid his quest for the Nobel Peace Prize. So far, several nations, including Pakistan, Israel, Armenia and Azerbaijan, among others, have nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
