Fact check: Which specific wars did Donald Trump claim to have stopped?

Checked on September 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement inquires about the specific wars that Donald Trump claims to have stopped. According to various analyses, Donald Trump claims to have stopped seven wars [1], including conflicts between Israel and Iran, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of the Congo, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Thailand and Cambodia, India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo [1]. However, experts argue that some of these conflicts were not full-scale wars and that Trump's role in resolving them is disputed [1]. The analyses also highlight that while Trump may have helped broker ceasefires, his role was not always decisive, and many of the conflicts remain unresolved [1]. Additionally, some sources provide critical perspectives on Trump's foreign policy decisions and actions, highlighting several areas where his policies have been detrimental to US interests and global stability [2] [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key missing context in the original statement is the lack of clarity on the specific criteria used to determine which conflicts constitute a "war" [1]. Furthermore, alternative viewpoints suggest that Trump's claims of stopping wars are often exaggerated or misleading [4] [5]. Some sources also provide in-depth analysis of each conflict, highlighting the complexities and challenges involved [1], which is essential to understanding the nuances of Trump's claims. Additionally, some sources offer critical perspectives on Trump's handling of US foreign policy, stating that it is a 'voluntary liquidation of a great power's status and geopolitical influence in modern history' [3]. It is also worth noting that some sources do not provide direct information about the specific wars that Donald Trump claims to have stopped [6] [2] [7], which may indicate a lack of concrete evidence to support Trump's claims.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be subject to potential misinformation or bias [1], as Trump's claims of stopping wars are often disputed by experts [1]. Additionally, some sources may have a biased perspective on Trump's foreign policy decisions and actions [2] [3], which could influence their assessment of his claims. It is also possible that Trump's claims are intended to create a positive narrative about his presidency [5], which could be misleading or exaggerated [4] [5]. Ultimately, a thorough evaluation of the evidence and multiple sources is necessary to accurately assess the validity of Trump's claims [1] [5].
