WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump took to social media to announce that he won’t receive a Nobel Peace Prize despite helping achieve a peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.

Taking to his Truth Social account, the POTUS said, “I am very happy to report that I have arranged, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a wonderful Treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Republic of Rwanda, in their War, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so even than most other Wars, and has gone on for decades.”

He also stated that it’s a “Great Day for Africa and, quite frankly, a Great Day for the World!” but mentioned, “I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this.”

Trump would not stop there as he hailed himself “for stopping the War between India and Pakistan,” “for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo,” and “for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia.”

But also asserted that despite these, he “won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize.”

Donald Trump says people knowing his work is ‘all that matters to’ him

Further in his online post, the 79-year-old noted that he “won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in ‘The Ages!’”

“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!” Trump added.

This comes after the Commander-in-Chief had contemplated attacking Iran amid its war with Israel.

He recently said, “I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” as per NBC News.

Amid all this, Pakistan has selected Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Islamic nation said, as per Newsweek, “The Government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.”

Though Pakistan has credited Trump for the ceasefire, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not agree.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri reportedly said, “The discussion to cease military action took place directly between India and Pakistan through the existing channels of communication between the two armed forces, and it was initiated at Pakistan’s request.”

“Prime Minister Modi firmly stated that India does not and will never accept mediation. There is complete political consensus in India on this matter,” he added.
