Trump says he

In recent weeks, President Trump has repeatedly stated that he deserves credit to end six or seven wars during his first months in office, arguing that he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.

“I stopped seven wars, and they were, they are too big,” Trump said Friday.

“I have established six wars, and many people say seven because there is one that nobody knows,” he said in an interview on August 19.

A White House official provided a list of seven conflicts that the president is referring: Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Thailand and Cambodia, India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.

“There has been more progress towards peace than ever due to this president’s leadership,” the official wrote.

The recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize 2025 is expected to be announced next month.

More than 100 people have received the prize since the chemist of the nineteenth century, Alfred Nobel, created the prize to honor a “person who will have done the greatest or best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of permanent armies and for the possession and promotion of the Congresses of Peace.”

Four American presidents have passed Laureados, more recently Barack Obama who received the prize for supporting nuclear non -proliferation and international diplomacy.

Foreign policy experts say that although Trump has helped the runners for rent, including one between Israel and Iran, several of the foreign conflicts cited by the administration were not large -scale wars, and many remain unsolved. The White House did not respond to a request for clarification on why the president has repeatedly labeled the seven conflicts as established wars.

Some of these peace efforts involved limited the participation of the United States, and in other cases, it is not clear if Trump’s role was decisive.

Here is a look at conflicts:

Israel and Iran

After Israel attacked Iran nuclear facilities in June, a 12 -day conflict resulted in the death of approximately 28 Israelis and hundreds of Iranians before the fire was reached with US and participation of Qatar. Trump affirmed credit, saying that he had ordered American air attacks at Uranium enrichment sites in Iran and pressed the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who stopped more strikes.

Michael O’Hanlon, main member of Brookings, said Trump deserves some credit for this high fire. “He managed to use a combination of a good relationship with Netanyahu, but also the willingness to exert some pressure on Netanyahu that I think contributed to the cessation at least temporary of hostilities,” O’Hanlon said.

But other foreign policy experts said that tensions between nations are far from being resolved, and Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in early July that the Department of Defense estimated the US Strikes. He probably delayed Iran’s nuclear program in “one to two years.”

Larry Haas, the main member of the American Foreign Policy Council, said: “I disagree with the notion that the president brought peace to Iran and Israel. We can be in a quiet period in terms of direct confrontation, but they will go at this time he is trying to regroup.”

Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo

In June, Rwanda and the Congo Democratic Republic announced a peace agreement after several days of conversations in Washington mediated by President Trump and Qatar.

The agreement was aimed at ending three decades of struggle for Congo mineral reserves. However, violence has continued, with both sides accusing each other of violating the terms of peace. Human Rights Watch reported that M23, an armed group that US officials Believe that it is supported By Rwanda, killed more than 140 civilians in the east of the Congo in July.

“It is a premature statement of success, when we are actually reaching the starting line,” O’Hanlon said.

Armenia and Azerbaijan

In August, Mr. Trump helped negotiate An agreement Aimed at normalizing relationships and reopening transport routes between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which have been fighting for control of the Karabakh region.

O’Hanlon and Haas agreed that the Trump administration promoted the agreement in part by inviting both leaders to the White House. The leaders of both countries also accredited Mr. Trump for the agreement, saying that he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

But the agreement is not a formal peace agreement and requires ratification. A remaining conflict point is that Azerbaijan wants Armenia to eliminate any mention of territorial claims to the land of Azerbaijan of its Constitution before officials sign a final agreement. Armenian’s Prime Minister has expressed his willingness to change the Constitution, but has not specified a date for a referendum.

Thailand and Cambodia

At the end of July, Thailand and Cambodia agreed At a stop the fire after a fight outbreak killed at least 35 people. President Trump said he had pressed both parties to come to the table threatening the commercial consequences.

The United States is the main importer for both counties, and experts in foreign policy News themezone spoke of saying that Trump’s tariff threats played an important role in obtaining a high fire. “He helped move things along with economic pressure,” said Haas.

However, the border dispute continues with Thai officials accusing Cambodia of putting new land mines. Cambodia denied doing it.

India and Pakistan

India and Pakistan agreed at a stop the fire in May after weeks of cross -border missiles and drone strikes. The agreement ended the last outbreak in its long dispute over Kashmir, that both nations with nuclear weapons claim as their territory.

Pakistan accredited the efforts of the Trump administration in conversations led by the United States, and nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. But India insisted on his own pressure on Pakistan, not US diplomacy, led the treatment.

Josh Kurlantzick, principal member of Southeast Asia and South Asia in the Foreign Relations Council, said it is difficult to call the setting on set.

“There is no real ending for this conflict,” he said, noting that future negotiations could be complicated by Mr. Trump’s decision to impose pronounced tariffs on India, a key partner.

Egypt and Ethiopia

Trump also states that he negotiated peace between Ethiopia and Egypt, who disagrees with Ethiopia’s decision to build a hydroelectric dam in the Nile.

During his first term, Trump tried to negotiate an agreement between the countries and suspended some help to Ethiopia due to lack of progress. In June, the president mentioned the dispute over social truth, writing: “There is peace, at least for now, due to my intervention, and it will remain like this!”

However, no offers have been announced. Ethiopia still plans to officially open its prey in September on the objections of Egypt that it will restrict water flow to your country. And while Egypt previously threatened to go to war On the dam, this conflict has remained a diplomatic.

O’Hanlon said of the dispute: “I would not call the interaction of Egypt-Etiopia a war.”

Serbia and Kosovo

In 2020, President Trump He helped negotiate An agreement between Serbia and Kosovo to help normalize the economic ties, but the progress stagnated later.

The conversations have continued with European leaders, but progress has not emerged. Kosovo declared his independence from Serbia in 2008, which Serbia still does not recognize.

“His treatment, to the extent that he existed, actually happened in his first term, and has not really stopped what is happening,” said Haas.
