"In my first 10 months, I ended eight wars. Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India would have been a nuclear war, 35 million people said the prime minister of Pakistan would have died if it were not for my involvement Kosovo and Serbia, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Congo and Rwanda. And, of course, the war in Gaza, which proceeds at a very low level."
"It's not the first time Trump has claimed that he's ended several wars. In his speech before the United Nations General Assembly last fall, he stated that he ended seven wars he has now added ending the war in Gaza to that list. But his claim is false many of the wars he listed remain unresolved, and his role as the broker of peace is disputed."
"In July 2025, Trump threatened to withhold trade deals if no peace deal about the long-running border dispute would be signed. The leaders agreed to a ceasefire on July 28, but it didn't hold. After deadly clashes in December, the agreement was replaced by another ceasefire that Trump was not involved in."
President Trump claimed in his State of the Union address that he ended eight wars during his first ten months, listing Cambodia-Thailand, Pakistan-India, Kosovo-Serbia, Israel-Iran, Egypt-Ethiopia, Armenia-Azerbaijan, Congo-Rwanda, and Gaza. However, fact-checking reveals these claims are false. Many of the listed conflicts remain unresolved or ongoing. For Cambodia-Thailand, a ceasefire Trump brokered in July 2025 failed to hold, replaced by another agreement without US involvement. The Pakistan-India ceasefire, while announced following US-led talks, involved significant mediation from Saudi Arabia and Iran. Trump's role as a peace broker in these conflicts is disputed by analysts and media reports.
