President Donald Trump is back to billing himself as the dealmaker-in-chief on the global stage, this time touting that he has already brought an end to six wars during his second term in office. The claim was made Monday during a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several European leaders, during which Trump also hinted that he is on the verge of settling the brutal war in Ukraine as well.

“I’ve done six wars — I’ve ended six wars,” Trump said, noting that his interventions have ranged from the Middle East to Africa and parts of Asia. “Look, India-Pakistan, we’re talking about big places. You just take a look at some of these wars. You go to Africa and take a look at them.”

The White House this month released a statement dubbing Trump the “President of Peace” and cited agreements or diplomatic gestures involving Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo. It also pointed back to the Abraham Accords from Trump’s first term in which several Arab states normalized relations with Israel.

As usual, the public framing is as important for Trump as the diplomacy itself. His critics argue the victories are overstated or temporary, but his team is clearly building a record for a potential future bid for the Nobel Peace Prize he’s long pursued.

Permanent or Temporary?

Foreign policy experts say that Trump’s victories so far have not necessarily been permanent. In some cases, the accords are closer to fragile ceasefires than full peace treaties. The most dramatic example is Israel and Iran. After a short but brutal 12-day conflict, Trump declared that he had the United States and Iran at peace with each other.

But the truce between the two nations has never been formalized, and the underlying tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program have not been resolved. Trump also has suffered setbacks: His peace push between Israel and Hamas collapsed with renewed violence in Gaza, and his headline-grabbing diplomatic courtship of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in his first term failed to deter Pyongyang’s growing nuclear arsenal.

Armenia-Azerbaijan, the “Trump Route”

One of Trump’s more recent deals was a peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan, nations that have been at war over territorial and ethnic disputes in the South Caucasus. Signed at the White House earlier this month, the agreement requires the two countries to recognize borders and renounce the use of violence against one another.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev went so far as to say that “President Trump, in six months, did a miracle.” But many analysts note that the two sides have not fully resolved underlying constitutional and territorial issues that could set the stage for renewed conflict.

Cambodia-Thailand and India-Pakistan

In Southeast Asia, Trump said he threatened to suspend trade deals with both Cambodia and Thailand to stop a border clash that had already killed at least 38 people. With blunt pressure, as well as diplomatic efforts by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the bloodshed was brought to an end. The country’s prime minister, Hun Manet, even nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize, hailing it as “extraordinary statesmanship.”

Trump used similar methods on a border flare-up between India and Pakistan in May, a tinderbox that has already seen three wars over the disputed region of Kashmir. Pakistan claimed Washington helped mediate, but India publicly rejected any U.S. role in the talks. The deal is also fragile as the underlying territorial disputes have not been addressed.

Tougher on Rwanda and the Congo

Trump also touted a deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo committing the two sides to recognizing their borders and the disarmament of militia groups. The M23 rebel movement that is the target of that agreement has already rejected it, and many observers see Trump’s involvement as mainly motivated by the United States’ own competition with China for access to African mineral resources.

The president’s mention of Egypt and Ethiopia relates to their decades-long dispute over a massive dam project on the Nile River. Trump has pushed for both sides to compromise, but no formal agreement has been reached.

The White House also credits Trump for earlier encouraging economic normalization between Serbia and Kosovo, though the two countries remain diplomatically at odds and much of the recent progress there has come under the tutelage of the European Union.

End of Wars: Campaigning on Peace

Trump’s claims that he’s ending wars underscores both his signature, unconventional diplomacy and his inclination to exaggerate results. His critics have long argued that his moves to eviscerate the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) undercut any ability to transform ceasefires into lasting peace.

But even some skeptics acknowledge that Trump’s direct, personal involvement has occasionally worked. “The ones that were helpful, especially India-Pakistan, were conducted in a professional way, quietly, diplomatically … laying the ground and finding common ground between the parties,” said Celeste Wallander, a former Pentagon official and now director of the Center for a New American Security.

Trump’s recent efforts, especially on Ukraine, remain to be seen. So far, the president’s record includes some bold interventions, plenty of symbolic branding, and a lot of unfinished business.
