Does Trump tell the truth that he has already stopped 8 wars?

Donald Trump claims he has contributed to the cessation of eight international conflicts since taking office, though the validity of these claims is debated.

Donald Trump has recently expressed that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his involvement in eight international conflicts since his inauguration in January. However, the validity of his claims is contested, with some questioning his role in these conflicts and others noting that hostilities have resumed in certain areas he has intervened in. Furthermore, critics argue that the term "war" may be applied too liberally in some of these situations.

Despite signing a peace agreement at the White House in June, new conflicts have emerged, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and along the Cambodia-Thailand border. An overview of the eight conflicts Trump has engaged in was provided by the Independent outlet, highlighting the complexity of his involvement. Each situation varies significantly, with peace processes underway in some regions while fighting continues in others, posing challenges to the narrative of a peacemaking presidency.

In the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump has taken a central role through his "Peace Council" initiative, aimed at fostering negotiations for the cessation of violence in Gaza and its reconstruction. In October, a preliminary deal was reached under his mediation, showcasing the multifaceted nature of international diplomacy and the implications of Trump's foreign policy on global peace efforts.
