World leaders openly mocked Donald Trump’s repeated boast that he ended a war between Albania and Azerbaijan — a conflict that never existed — during a public summit.
At a European Political Community Summit in Copenhagen, world leaders shared visible amusement when U.S. President Donald Trump claimed credit for ending a conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama jokingly told French President Emmanuel Macron, “You should make an apology to us … Because you didn’t congratulate us for the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan.” Macron, in turn, “apologized for not mentioning Trump’s nonexistent peace deal.”
Trump has in recent speeches asserted he resolved seven wars since reentering the White House, and has campaigned for a Nobel Peace Prize citing a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Yet he has repeatedly “confused Armenia with Albania” and on one occasion claimed to have ended a war between “Cambodia and Armenia,” two nations that have never been at war.
