President Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic complaining to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about his failure to win a Nobel Peace Prize in 2025.
During a late December lunch at Mar-a-Lago, the U.S. president was overheard bragging about the wars he has claimed to have stopped.
"But to both of them, I said, 'We're going to cut you off, no more trade,'" Trump said. "Then I put 200% tariffs on. The next day, they called. We looked at 35 years of fighting, and they stopped. Do I get credit for it? No."
"I did eight of them," he added. "How about India and Pakistan? And then, so I did eight."
At that point, the president noticed reporters were in the room.
"I'll tell you the rest of it," he told Netanyahu before turning to the press.
"We made a lot of progress already," Trump announced. "We had about a five-minute meeting, and we've already settled about three of the difficulties. So thank you very much for being here."
