nominated by dracula — the genocidist....US President Donald Trump has suggested that denying him the Nobel Peace Prize would amount to an insult to the United States. Speaking to top military brass in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, Trump said he has repeatedly been overlooked for the award, even though he believes his record qualifies him. The president pointed to his latest Middle East peace plan, claiming it was the eighth conflict he has helped resolve in as many months. “We’ll have eight, eight in eight months… Will you get the Nobel Prize? Absolutely not,” he said, before adding, “They’ll give it to some guy that didn’t do a damn thing.” Trump joked that the prize would likely end up going to a writer instead, insisting he wasn’t seeking personal recognition. “It’ll be a big insult to our country, I will tell you that. I don’t want it. I want the country to get it,” he said. The US president has claimed he had ended conflicts between Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Congo and Rwanda, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as between Pakistan and India. Trump's Nobel push received support from the leaders of Israel and Cambodia earlier this year. Pakistan also nominated Trump for the prize, crediting him with diffusing its conflict with India. However, New Delhi has refuted claims of outside involvement in brokering the ceasefire. Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia rose earlier this year but never devolved into open conflict, while the standoff between Egypt and Ethiopia over the latter’s hydroelectric dam on the Nile River also did not escalate into a war. Trump’s attempts to settle the Ukraine conflict and reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have also proved unsuccessful so far. https://www.rt.com/news/625719-trump-snubbing-nobel-insult-us/

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has taken a jab at US President Donald Trump after the latter claimed to have settled the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan – confusing the Balkan country with Armenia in the South Caucasus.
Footage shared on social media shows Rama walking up to French President Emmanuel Macron and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev with a tongue-in-cheek remark at a summit in Denmark on Thursday.
“You should make an apology to us because you didn’t congratulate us on the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan,” Rami is heard telling Macron.
“I am sorry for that,” Macron is heard replying, with all three leaders laughing.
The quip referred to Trump’s state visit to the UK two weeks earlier, where he cited the “settlement of Aber-baijan (sic) and Albania” as an example of his peacemaking record, mispronouncing Azerbaijan while confusing Albania with Armenia.
Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former Soviet republics, were locked in conflict for decades over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh before Azerbaijan retook it in 2023. In August, the leaders of the two countries initialed a US-brokered peace declaration, renouncing territorial claims and pledging to abstain from the use of force, though the agreement has yet to come into effect. France has urged both sides to finalize the treaty, with Macron casting the deal as vital for European security. Trump’s latest slip added to a long record of geographical blunders. He has called Belgium a “beautiful city,” invented the country of “Nambia” at a UN luncheon, confused the Baltics with the Balkans, and once hailed “the Prince of Whales.” Other US presidents have also stumbled – George W. Bush famously praised Australia’s leader for visiting “Austrian troops” in Iraq, while Joe Biden mixed up Syria with Libya and Colombia with Venezuela.
