Steve Witcoff, Special Middle East messengers of President Trump, may be in trouble. As stated widely, it has been Strictly criticized As an in-over-head as foreign policy. He is running around the world, holding a meeting with foreign leaders and claiming that there is also a struggle in Ukraine.
But witkoff is good at one thing: he knows better than someone else how to give butter to Trump. Last week’s embarrassing three-hour cabinet meeting-where, one by one, cabinet secretaries told Trump how great he was-Vitkofop took the cake.
“The only thing I want,” He told Trump“The Nobel Committee finally gets its work together and learns that you are the best candidate because this award was ever talked about.”
Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, Shimon Perce, Anwar Saat, Yitzak Rabin, Martin Luther King, Junior, and Teddy Roosevelt from Greater? It’s a little bit on top, perhaps – but it is what Donald Trump wanted to hear. In fact, no one is lobbying himself for Trump for Trump, when the winners are announced next month to receive the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
In August, Trump personally Norway Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg called He will be given a prestigious award for demanding. On August 19, in the morning after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelancesi, Trump said that “Fox and friend“That he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize because” I have solved seven wars. We ended seven wars. ,
With everything else, there is a huge difference between Trump and the real world. Factcheck.org Report He played very little or no role in resolving some disagreement, most of which were not actually war and some of which are still running. The war in Ukraine, which Trump promised to finish on “day one” of his second term, as a day 225 – despite the recent promises of Trump’s adjacent ceasefire and a summit meeting with Zelansky and Vladimir Putin. And what about Gaza?
For records, the credit for resolving the seven war Trump is India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, Serbia and Kosovo, Thailand and Cambodia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia and Armenia and Azerbaijan and Israel and Iran. Each claim is sketch.
For example, the border disputes between India and Pakistan have been going on for 75 years. On 17 June, after the two countries agreed to the ceasefire, Trump asked India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take credit and nominate Modi for the Nobel Peace Prize. According to Indian news accounts, Modi bristled, Trump was directly interacted with the ceasefire India and Pakistan had nothing to do with it and it.
Egypt and Ethiopia have long argued on water rights from a new dam that Ethiopia has been constructing on the Nile River. But no shot has ever been removed. Trump did not end any war, because there was no war.
The same story with Serbia and Kosovo. In 2020, during Trump’s first term, they agreed to establish economic relations, yet the tension between the two countries is so strong that NATO soldiers are deployed to maintain peace in Kosovo. But then, no war and any war was solved.
Fighting between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo has been going on for more than 30 years, despite several brocade peace deals, the latest of which was signed in the White House on 27 June. But within weeks, within weeks, Violence happened again and continues today,
Thailand and Cambodia have clashed over the border lines and ownership of ancient temples for years. In July, on Trump’s insistence, the two countries agreed to talk, which are running. But there was no war in the first place.
In addition, they are running and have not been completely resolved, negotiations for a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, agreed at the White House on 8 August.
A case where foreign policy experts give some credit to Trump, helping to end the war between Israel and Iran. However, it is ironic that Trump’s contribution was to take side with Israel with the person and to leave a bunker-bomb bomb on Iran at Israel’s request-not the strongest case for a peace prize.
Even if Trump does not win the Nobel Peace Prize, he is not the total loser. On August 5, Trump Bedminster’s men’s senior club championship won – His sixth golf championship of 2025. But, of course, it is very easy to win the top prize when owning a club.
