In a bold claim during Thursday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said US President Donald Trump has brokered an average of one peace deal or ceasefire per month since taking office, including agreements in major global flashpoints such as India-Pakistan, Israel-Iran, and Serbia-Kosovo. Leavitt renewed calls for Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “remarkable record in resolving conflicts."

She began by highlighting Trump’s role in brokering a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia—a conflict that had displaced over 300,000 people—stating that the U.S. President personally warned both sides that failure to stop hostilities would end trade discussions with the United States. “Almost immediately afterwards, a peace was brokered that will save thousands of lives," she said.

Leavitt then listed other high-conflict regions where she claimed Trump had successfully intervened, including “Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia." She described these actions as part of a consistent diplomatic push that deserved global recognition.

Trump has previously taken credit for preventing hostilities between India and Pakistan following precision strikes on terror infrastructure, although India has publicly refuted the extent of his involvement. New Delhi maintains that bilateral matters—especially those concerning Jammu and Kashmir—are strictly between India and Pakistan.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reinforced that position in the Lok Sabha, recounting how he ignored calls from U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during Operation Sindoor. “No leader in the world told India to stop its operation," Modi said, adding that India responded decisively to Pakistani aggression following the Pahalgam terror attack.

Despite Trump’s claims of diplomatic intervention, India and Pakistan agreed to cease hostilities only after a direct call between the two countries’ Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO), with no third-party mediation involved.
