President Donald Trump is again framing himself as a global dealmaker, saying Monday he has already ended six wars over the course of his second term. The claim came during a meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several European leaders, during which Trump also said he is on the cusp of ending the bloody war in Ukraine.

“I’ve done six wars — I’ve ended six wars,” Trump said, later adding that his efforts stretched from the Middle East to Africa and parts of Asia. “Look, India-Pakistan, we’re talking about big places. You just take a look at some of these wars. You go to Africa and take a look at them.”

The White House this month released a statement calling Trump the “President of Peace” for his actions involving countries such as Armenia and Azerbaijan, Cambodia and Thailand, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo. It also tacked on the Abraham Accords, a series of normalizing agreements Trump signed in his first term with Arab states and Israel.

Trump has long been as focused on the branding as he is on the diplomacy itself. His critics would say the victories are overstated or temporary, but his team clearly is at the very least creating a record that could support his long-running quest to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nature of Trump’s Wins

Foreign policy experts say Trump’s triumphs, when they come, have not always been permanent. In some cases, the deals are more akin to shaky ceasefires, rather than peace treaties.

The most obvious example of this may be the agreement between Israel and Iran. After a relatively short but intense 12-day war, Trump said he had brokered peace. However, it was an informal truce between the sides and the tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program are as deep as ever.

Trump has also experienced some outright failures, like his push for a peace deal between Israel and Hamas fell apart with the resumption of violence in Gaza. His most visible outreach during his first term was to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. That failed to put a meaningful brake on Pyongyang’s nuclear buildup.

Armenia-Azerbaijan and the “Trump Route”

One of Trump’s most recent successes was a peace declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The deal, signed at the White House earlier this month, calls on the two countries to recognize borders and renounce violence. A U.S.-backed transportation corridor also was agreed to, a project called the “Trump Route for Peace and Prosperity.”

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev lauded the deal, saying, “President Trump, in six months, did a miracle.” Analysts caution, however, that deeper constitutional and territorial issues remain unaddressed, meaning the underlying conflict is far from resolved.

Southeast Asia and South Asia

In Southeast Asia, Trump threatened to cut off trade deals with both Cambodia and Thailand to stop a border clash that had left at least 38 dead. Trump’s hard-line leverage combined with efforts by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to end the violence. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet even nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize, touting it as “extraordinary statesmanship.”

Trump similarly tried his hand at resolving a border flare-up between India and Pakistan in May, a region that already has seen three wars over Kashmir. In this case, Pakistan publicly gave credit to Washington for brokering the deal. However, India rejected that claim and Trump’s assertion that the U.S. had played a mediative role. The fragile truce still has not been followed up on and the deeper territorial conflict remains.

Trump also trumpeted a deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to recognize borders and disarm militia groups. However, M23, the rebel movement at the heart of the conflict, has rejected the accord and many saw this move as Washington entering a competition with China for mineral resources on the African continent.

The president also referenced Egypt and Ethiopia, which have been in dispute over a massive dam project on the Nile. The U.S. has pushed for compromise but there is as yet no enforceable agreement in place.

The White House also touts Trump’s earlier role in pushing economic normalization between Serbia and Kosovo. However, the two countries remain at diplomatic odds and much of the most recent progress on the relationship has come with European Union guidance.

Campaigning on Peace

Trump’s claim that he is ending wars is as much a nod to his own unconventional diplomatic style as it is an exaggeration of results. His critics would argue that reducing the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development undercut his ability to translate ceasefires into durable peace.

But even skeptics acknowledge that Trump’s hands-on, often pressure-driven style has produced results in at least some cases. “The ones that were helpful, especially India-Pakistan, were conducted in a professional way, quietly, diplomatically … laying the ground and finding common ground between the parties,” said Celeste Wallander, a former Pentagon official who now is with the Center for a New American Security.

It remains to be seen whether Trump’s latest efforts, and especially those related to Ukraine, will prove durable. His record so far is a mix of bold interventions, symbolic branding and unfinished business, making it an open question as to whether he’ll be able to make good on the title of “President of Peace.”
