WASHINGTON — Senator JD Vance said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump plans to finish at least three more wars by 2026. Speaking at a press briefing, Vance explained that Trump’s main goal is to “bring peace through efficiency.”
According to Vance, Trump hopes the effort will help him win the Nobel Peace Prize, though he is still unsure where the award ceremony takes place. “He’s checking if it’s in Oslo or maybe Stockholm,” Vance said with a straight face.
Trump’s campaign staff confirmed that he is “committed to completing global conflicts,” starting with what he called “the most visible ones.” The list reportedly includes Ukraine, the Middle East, and “something in Asia that needs closure.”
Policy experts in New York said the statement aligns with Trump’s long-standing image as a dealmaker. “He prefers quick solutions with visible results,” said political analyst Michael O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institution (brookings.edu).
The U.S. Department of State (state.gov) declined to comment, noting that no official diplomatic proposal had been received. Meanwhile, Trump has instructed aides to “look into all wars that can be finished within two years.”
A campaign spokesperson said the initiative will be announced during Trump’s next rally in Des Moines, Iowa. The event will also feature a short video titled “Peace, Fast and Easy.”
In Brussels, NATO officials welcomed the idea “in principle,” though some expressed confusion about the logistics. European media outlets called the plan “a bold schedule.”
