**Headline: India Deflects Question on Trump Nobel Push, White House Claims Credit for Global Peace Deals**

**New Delhi, India** – India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday sidestepped a question regarding the White House’s renewed push for former US President Donald Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. During a press briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated it was “better to take this question to the White House” when asked about the Biden administration’s claims that Trump ended multiple global conflicts, including tensions between India and Pakistan.

Earlier in the day, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly advocated for Trump’s nomination, asserting that he brokered peace agreements between various nations, 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 claimed Trump averaged one peace deal per month during his last six months in office.

While Trump has repeatedly claimed to have brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, even linking it to trade negotiations, New Delhi has consistently maintained that the cessation of hostilities was a bilateral agreement. Islamabad, however, has expressed gratitude to Trump for his involvement.

Pakistan nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize in June, praising his “diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” during a period of heightened tensions with India. Despite the nomination and the White House’s advocacy, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which ultimately selects the recipients, has not publicly commented on Trump’s candidacy.
