President Trump claimed to have ended six or seven wars during his presidency, often highlighting peace agreements or ceasefires he brokered between longstanding adversaries. The key conflicts he cited include Armenia- Azerbaijan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Kosovo and Serbia, Cambodia and Thailand. However, many of these conflicts are only partially resolved or still fragile, and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza remain ongoing despite his involvement. Some ceasefires and agreements were temporary or contested by involved parties. Thus, while Trump played a role in facilitating peace processes in these conflicts, the claim that he fully ended these wars is an exaggeration or incomplete. Here are notable conflicts Trump has claimed to have ended or where he brokered peace agreements or ceasefires:
- Armenia and Azerbaijan: Peace agreement signed at the White House in 2025 after decades of conflict.
- Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda: U.S.-brokered agreement easing violence though instability persists.
- India and Pakistan: Ceasefire agreement after intense fighting, although involvement disputed.
- Israel and Iran: Ceasefire after 12-day conflict with U.S. participation in some strikes.
- Egypt and Ethiopia: Disputed standoff over Nile dam, agreement efforts ongoing.
- Kosovo and Serbia: Little evidence of imminent war at claim time.
- Cambodia and Thailand: US involvement in ceasefire talks, but violations continued.
The Russia-Ukraine and Gaza conflicts remain unresolved despite Trump's efforts. The claims often mix temporary ceasefires or agreements with fully ended wars, with varying recognition by the parties involved. In summary, Trump has been involved in brokering several peace deals and ceasefires in multiple conflicts, but the full ending of these wars is often not established or is disputed.
