List of trump's peace deals
Executive summary
The Trump White House and allied reporting list a set of high-profile mediations in 2025–2026 framed as “peace deals,” including accords involving Armenia–Azerbaijan, the DRC–Rwanda, Cambodia–Thailand, Israel-related pacts (Abraham Accords, Sudan–Israel, and later Israel–Hamas ceasefire frameworks), and several others the administration cites as brokered by President Trump [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Independent analysts and outlets note tangible diplomatic openings but warn many agreements lack enforcement mechanisms and, in at least some cases, fighting continued after ceremonies — raising questions about durability [6] [7] [8].
1. The administration’s advertised list of deals
The White House claims a broad roster of peace outcomes “brokered” by President Trump: Armenia and Azerbaijan; Cambodia and Thailand (Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords); Israel and Iran (listed by the White House); Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); India and Pakistan; Egypt and Ethiopia; Serbia and Kosovo; plus the Abraham Accords and other Israel–Arab normalization steps — and additional trade-linked pacts tied to those processes [1] [9] [2].
2. Signed and widely reported accords with independent corroboration
The Abraham Accords — the original UAE and Bahrain normalization with Israel — are a documented Trump-era diplomatic achievement previously recorded by the State Department [3]. The DRC–Rwanda joint declaration and a White House-hosted signing have been described in State Department materials and White House accounts as a “landmark” agreement [2] [1]. The Armenia–Azerbaijan joint declaration signed at the White House in August 2025 is also widely reported and credited by some analysts as a genuine diplomatic intervention, though it built on prior regional negotiations [1] [8].
3. Ceasefires, frameworks, and the Israel–Gaza context
In 2025 the administration portrayed its role in brokering a Gaza ceasefire framework and other Israel–Hamas-related pauses as among its most consequential diplomatic outcomes; media coverage and administration visuals show signed frameworks and ceremonies, but outlets like The New York Times reported significant unresolved obstacles to a durable settlement, and Fox News framed the October ceasefire as the year’s most consequential development while also noting incomplete resolutions elsewhere [5] [10].
4. Limits, critiques, and continuing violence
Independent critics and policy analysts caution that several “deals” prioritized rapid ceremony and commercial access over long-term stability: fighting in eastern DRC persisted after the Washington ceremony, critics say, and the DRC agreement coincided with U.S. mineral-access arrangements that some observers argue could substitute economic leverage for traditional peacebuilding, with real risks to civilians if security guarantees are absent [6] [11]. Time and Just Security coverage similarly emphasize that ceremonies do not equal durable peace and that some leaders may use U.S.-branded summits to polish their images absent accountability mechanisms [7] [6].
5. Motives, leverage, and geopolitical trade-offs
Several sources emphasize that these accords were bundled with economic incentives — mineral access, trade frameworks, or U.S. development roles — suggesting a diplomacy-as-dealmaking model that mixes geopolitics and commercial aims; proponents argue such leverage can unlock intractable conflicts, while critics warn it risks short-term gains and strategic blind spots [11] [6] [2].
6. What can be said with confidence and what remains uncertain
It is verifiable from the White House and State Department materials that multiple high-profile joint declarations and ceremonial signings occurred under Trump’s auspices — Armenia/Azerbaijan, DRC/Rwanda, Cambodia/Thailand accords, Abraham Accords follow-ons, and Israel-related frameworks are all present in the administration’s record [1] [2] [3] [9]. What remains contested in reporting is the durability and substance of many agreements: independent analysts document ongoing violence in some theatres and emphasize the absence of enforcement or international accountability provisions in others [6] [7] [8].
