US President Donald Trump  claimed that he would easily solve the clash between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He was speaking to reporters during a bilateral lunch with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the White House.

US President Trump said, “I solved eight wars. Go to Rwanda and the Congo, talk about India and Pakistan. Look at all of the wars that we solved, and every time I solved, when they say If you solve the next one, you’re gonna get the Nobel Prize. I didn’t get a Nobel Prize. Somebody got it who is a very nice woman. I don’t know who she is, but she was very generous. I don’t care about all that stuff. I just care about saving lives. But this will be number nine… So, to the best of my knowledge, we’ve never had a president who solved one war. Not one war. Bush started a war… But I saved tens of millions of lives. The Prime Minister of Pakistan said, I saved millions of lives…look at Pakistan and India as an example. That would have been a bad one…Although I do understand that Pakistan attacked, or there is an attack going on with Afghanistan. That’s an easy one for me to solve if I have to solve it. In the meantime, I have to run the USA, but I love solving wars. You know why? I like stopping people from being killed, and I’ve saved millions and millions of lives.”

On the Russia-Ukraine peace effort, Trump said, ” They (President Zelenskyy and President Putin) don’t like each other. I say that in front of President Zelenskyy, but I say it in front of President Putin, too. They have tremendous bad blood. It really is holding up, I think, a settlement. I think we’re going to get it done. And we have to make it long-lasting, as I said in the Middle East, everlasting. The Middle East is a much more complicated situation. We had 59 countries involved, and every one of them agreed. Most people didn’t think that was doable. This is going to be something I really believe that’s going to get done. I had very good talk yesterday with President Putin. I think he wants to get it done.”
