Pakistan, Oct. 14 -- US President Donald Trump, while en route to attend a historic Middle East 'peace summit' in Egypt, pledged Sunday to solve the latest escalation between Afghanistan and Pakistan, proclaiming that he is good at solving wars.

"This will be my eighth war that I've solved, and I hear there's a war now going on between Pakistan and Afghanistan," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while on his way to Israel - referring to the Gaza ceasefire as his eight.

"I said I'll have to wait till I get back. I'm doing another one. Because I'm good at solving wars, I'm good at making peace, and it's an honour to do it. I saved millions of lives, millions of lives," he added.
