President Donald Trump has highlighted his foreign policy record once again, this time with the claim that he has already ended six wars in his second term. The audacious boast was made Monday at the White House during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, during which Trump also claimed to be on the verge of resolving the war in Ukraine.

“I’ve done six wars — I’ve ended six wars,” Trump said. He later added, “You take a look at some of these wars. You go to Africa and take a look at them.” The conflicts Trump was referring to include interventions in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

The White House issued a statement earlier this month that declared Trump the “President of Peace” over agreements or initiatives with Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo. It also pointed to agreements signed in the president’s first term, such as the Abraham Accords which saw Israel and several Arab states normalize ties.

Fragile Agreements and Overstated Wins

Analysts have countered Trump’s claims, saying many of the agreements he has brokered are fragile ceasefires rather than permanent peace settlements, while he overstates his wins. In the case of Israel and Iran, for instance, Trump claimed to have reached peace at the end of a 12-day conflict, yet tensions between them remain high, and decades of mutual enmity show little sign of abating.

His attempts in other cases have failed outright. His efforts to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas fell through, and his outreach to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in his first term ended with Pyongyang with more nuclear weapons than it started.

Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a declaration in the White House this month. It commits the two sides to recognize borders and renounce violence, among other things, and opens a U.S.-controlled transportation corridor that has been dubbed the “Trump Route for Peace and Prosperity.” Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev praised the agreement, calling it “a miracle.”

Experts warn, though, that deeper constitutional and territorial issues remain to be resolved. In Southeast Asia, Trump reportedly used threats over a trade deal to get Cambodia and Thailand to call off a border clash that left 38 people dead. While the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) played a role, Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet credited Trump directly and even nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The case in South Asia is more complicated. Trump claimed credit for a de-escalation of a border flare-up between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan in May. While Islamabad praised Washington’s role, New Delhi did not. The truce left the question of Kashmir unresolved, so the durability of the deal is in question.

Africa, Kosovo, and the Road Ahead

Trump has also made a point of claiming credit for intervening in Africa, including an agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo that calls for disarming militias and scaling back border tensions. The M23 rebel group, a key driver of the violence, has rejected the deal. Many analysts suspect part of the U.S. motivation is an attempt to compete with China for control of mineral wealth.

His peace claims between Egypt and Ethiopia also relate to their long-running dispute over a Nile dam project. Trump has pushed for a compromise that benefits both countries, but so far there is no binding agreement. The Trump administration also has pointed to an earlier effort to resolve differences between Serbia and Kosovo. While there have been steps toward economic normalization, the two remain without full diplomatic relations, and the EU has been leading most recent negotiations.

Critics have said that Trump’s dismantling of parts of the State Department and cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development are hamstringing him and preventing him from converting temporary ceasefires into lasting peace. But others point out that his unconventional methods, including blunt threats and use of personal branding, have at least sometimes produced short-term results.

Celeste Wallander, who was assistant secretary of defense during the Obama administration and is now at the Center for a New American Security, said Trump’s quiet diplomacy between India and Pakistan was more effective than his headline-grabbing pronouncements. “The ones that were helpful, which is sort of ironic given the administration, were conducted in a professional way, quietly, diplomatically … finding common ground between the parties,” she said.

As he pushes ahead with what he describes as a drive for peace in Ukraine, questions remain over whether his approach will be able to deliver lasting solutions or whether his record will be one of bold claims more than lasting results.
