US President Donald Trump has been touting his efforts to end wars around the world, claiming a rate of “about one war per month” since taking office. However, experts and officials are questioning the accuracy of these claims.
According to various reports, Trump’s administration intervened in conflicts in Iran, India and Pakistan, Thailand and Cambodia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo. While these interventions may have temporarily halted violence, they do not necessarily equate to lasting peace agreements.
Critics argue that Trump’s actions often involved significant military intervention, economic pressure, or diplomatic maneuvering rather than genuine peacemaking efforts. In some cases, the truces brokered by Trump’s administration were short-lived and fragile.
For example, tensions in the region of Kashmir between India and Pakistan remain high despite Trump’s involvement. Similarly, the fragile truce between Thailand and Cambodia has been repeatedly violated.
The White House has also not provided clear evidence to support Trump’s claims of ending multiple wars simultaneously. The president himself seems to be cherry-picking conflicts to highlight his supposed achievements in peacemaking.
Trump’s boasts of ending “seven wars” have raised questions about the credibility of his administration’s foreign policy record. While the president’s efforts may have contributed to temporary reductions in violence, they do not necessarily signify lasting peace agreements.
