(File Photo/Getty Images via AFP) While speaking at the Turning Point USA event, Trump once again claimed that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan. “I am the peacemaker. I am the one who settled eight wars. I settled a war that would have killed 30 to 50 million people, India-Pakistan,” news agency ANI reported. "I ended eight wars, but if we add Iran and Lebanon, that will be 10 wars ended and many, many millions of lives saved. Think of how many lives we've saved," he added. Trump has earlier, many a times claimed that he has stopped eight wars, including, India-Pakistan, Kosovo-Serbia, Israel-Iran, Egypt-Ethiopia, Armenia-Azerbaijan, and Congo-Rwanda.

He added that the process should go very quickly as most of the points are already negotiated and agreed to. "The USA will get all the nuclear dust," he said, "adding that we will get it anyway." "We're going to get it by going in with Iran, with lots of excavators. We need the biggest excavators you can imagine. But we're going in together with Iran, we're going to get it, and we're going to take it back home to the USA." He reiterated his view that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Trump also hailed his leadership, saying "we achieved what everyone said was impossible," referring to the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.. "That hasn't taken place in 78 years...Our deal with Iran is not tied to Lebanon but we will make Lebanon great again," he said. "It's about time, it's about time we did.
