Former United States President Donald Trump has claimed credit for ending 'eight wars' since his return to office in January 2025, positioning himself as a global peacemaker. However, a closer examination of these claims reveals a more complex reality. In several cases, such as the India-Pakistan and Thailand-Cambodia conflicts, ceasefires announced by Trump quickly collapsed or were publicly denied by the countries involved. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Middle East, fighting resumed soon after high-profile summits and agreements, with root causes left unaddressed.

Some disputes, like those between Egypt and Ethiopia or Serbia and Kosovo, were never active wars to begin with, making Trump's claims of ending them questionable. The Armenia-Azerbaijan agreement stands out as the only formal peace treaty brokered, though its long-term durability remains to be seen. In Ukraine, despite diplomatic efforts, the war continues with no comprehensive settlement in sight. Overall, while Trump has been active in peace initiatives and announcements, most conflicts remain unresolved, and his record as a peacemaker is subject to significant debate.
