President Donald Trump has cast himself as a global dealmaker who halted multiple wars since taking office in January. On Monday, during talks with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, he cited “six wars that I’ve settled,” and on Tuesday he told “Fox & Friends” he had “solved seven wars,” without specifying the extra case. While his interventions paused fighting or advanced talks in several hotspots, in others his role is disputed or the violence has resumed.

Armenia–Azerbaijan

Trump hosted Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev at the White House for a joint declaration — the first significant commitment toward peace since the late-1980s origins of the conflict. But core issues remain: Baku insists Yerevan amend its constitution to drop references to Nagorno-Karabakh, still holds small areas inside Armenia, and the two sides have not agreed on a border; relations and the frontier remain closed.

Democratic Republic of Congo–Rwanda

In June, Rwandan and Congolese top diplomats came to the Oval Office to sign a U.S.- and Qatar-backed accord meant to pave the way to full peace. Trump hailed it as “a glorious triumph.” Talks have since faltered and deadly clashes continued; the M23 rebellion, backed by Rwanda, threatened to walk away, accusing Congo’s army of violations.

India–Pakistan

After a spring terror attack in Kashmir killed 26 civilians, Trump took credit for mediating an end to a dangerous escalation. India acknowledges U.S. involvement but says it negotiated directly with Pakistan; Islamabad denies India’s account and thanked Trump for his role. The dispute spills into trade: Pakistan faces 19% U.S. tariffs, while India faces a 50% rate that could hobble exporters.

Israel–Iran

Following 12 days of strikes in June — including U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites — Trump abruptly announced a cease-fire, saying the United States mediated it and that Israel turned its planes around at his request. “It was my great honor to Destroy All Nuclear facilities & capability, and then, STOP THE WAR!” he wrote on Truth Social. Talks on Iran’s nuclear future have since broken off, and experts say Tehran could eventually reconstitute enrichment elsewhere.

Thailand–Cambodia

After days of fighting this summer left at least 42 dead and displaced more than 300,000 people, Trump warned he would halt trade talks unless leaders accepted a cease-fire. Two days later, officials met in Malaysia, brokered by Malaysian and American officials, and agreed to pause hostilities. Critics argue the intervention left root causes unaddressed, even if the guns fell silent.

Egypt–Ethiopia (GERD)

The Nile dam dispute is diplomatic rather than a hot war, but its stakes are high. Trump’s diplomacy has done little to resolve it: Ethiopia announced the dam’s completion with an opening slated for next month, while Egypt and Sudan continue to warn of reduced downstream flow.

Trump’s Case — and the Caveats

“I’m averaging about a war a month,” Trump said in July in Turnberry, Scotland; in another interview he explained, “I really want to get to heaven,” describing his motivation for peacemaking, though he joked he’s “on the bottom of the totem pole.” The White House furnished a list of six conflicts when asked for clarity but did not answer a follow-up on the seventh.

Across the six (or seven) claims, Trump’s interventions range from facilitating cease-fires and declarations to staking diplomatic pressure without resolving core disputes. In several theaters, violence has persisted or key issues remain unsettled — leaving the durability of his “peacemaker” label an open question.
