ACTUAL FACTS FOR GRANTING AN AWARD

As President Donald Trump tries to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, he has been highlighting his track record in peace negotiations since starting his second term in office.

Speaking at the White House on 18 August, where he was pressed by European leaders to push for a ceasefire, he claimed: "I've ended six wars… all of these deals I made without even the mention of the word 'ceasefire'."

The following day the number he cited had risen to "seven wars".

The Trump administration says a Nobel Peace Prize is "well past time" for the "peacemaker-in-chief", and has listed the "wars" he has supposedly ended.

Some lasted just days - although they were the result of long-standing tensions - and it is unclear whether some of the peace deals will last.

Trump also used the word "ceasefire" a number of times when talking about them on his Truth Social platform.

BBC Verify has taken a closer look at these conflicts and how much credit the president can take for ending them.

You might want to review President Obama's qualifications for getting a Nobel Peace Prize.

:twoswings:
Giving Crimea to Putin.
Giving Eastern Ukraine to Putin.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

You beat me to it Fred. She'll avoid this question like Whoopie avoids a treadmill.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Yes, Reagan stepped in and fixed that..

What does this have to do with Obama being awarded a DEI Nobel Peace Prize?

When it's given to the IPCC and Al Gore one can hardly attach any prominence to the award . . .

Other great examples.

It has really lost its significance, it has become too political.
