Trump's Peace Deals Face Uncertain Future
President Trump has been making peace deals, but some of them are falling apart.
For example, a deal between Thailand and Cambodia didn't last, and there's still fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Critics say Trump makes deals quickly but doesn't make sure they last.
They also say he doesn't solve the big problems that cause fighting in the first place.
This could make things unstable in different parts of the world.
Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but some people think he needs to work harder to really make peace.
Several of Trump's peace deals have unraveled, including those between Thailand-Cambodia and Rwanda-DRC.
Critics argue Trump's high-speed approach fails to resolve key issues, risking regional instability.
Trump's dealmaking is transactional, focusing on quick agreements rather than durable peace.
Low-level fighting continues in Gaza despite a Trump-brokered ceasefire.
Trump's patience is wearing thin with Ukraine-Russia diplomacy, raising concerns he may bypass European allies.
