Copenhagen leaders joke about Trump’s claim of brokering peace between countries that were not at war

World leaders at the 7th European Political Community Summit in Copenhagen laughed as Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama teased French President Emmanuel Macron about Donald Trump’s repeated claims that he ended a conflict between Azerbaijan and Albania, countries that have not been at war.

While standing beside Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama 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,” in an exchange filmed by the Azerbaijani outlet News.AZ. Macron offered a joking apology for omitting Trump’s alleged peace deal in his summit remarks, and Rama responded, “He worked very hard.”

The Daily Beast compiled two clips of the leaders laughing about Trump’s mistakes, obtained from News Sources.AZ, into a single video.

Trump has frequently said he does not receive due credit for ending seven wars since returning to the White House, and while campaigning for a Nobel Peace Prize and its $1 million award, he has pointed to his role in brokering a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In making those remarks, he has often confused Armenia with Albania and has struggled to pronounce Azerbaijan’s name correctly.

At the American Cornerstone Institute’s Founders’ Dinner in September, Trump—who is 79 and, according to the article, on course to be the oldest sitting president in U.S. history—further claimed he ended a conflict between Armenia and Cambodia, two countries more than 4,000 miles apart that have never been at war. “Cambodia and Armenia,” he said. It had only begun—and it was already going badly. Just consider that.

Beyond those examples, Trump has said he “settled” seven conflicts, citing Pakistan and India and Israel and Iran, and has asserted the total rises to 10 when including what he describes as “pre-wars.”
