Trump's War Claims Scrutinized
President Trump has said he ended eight wars, but many of these conflicts were not very active or have started fighting again.
For example, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda signed an agreement, but fighting started again just days later.
Similarly, other agreements between countries like India and Pakistan, Israel and Hamas, and Israel and Iran are not very stable.
Some of the conflicts Trump mentioned were not even active wars.
Experts say Trump's approach is more about making deals than creating real, lasting peace.
Trump also mentioned he would make a phone call to stop the fighting between Thailand and Cambodia, which had started again.
President Trump claims to have ended eight wars, including conflicts between India-Pakistan, Israel-Iran, and Thailand-Cambodia, but the stability of these ceasefires is questionable.
The Washington Accords between the DRC and Rwanda were violated just days after signing, with allegations of Rwandan forces firing into Congolese territory.
The Thailand-Cambodia border conflict reignited with violent fighting on December 7-8, 2025, despite a previous US-brokered truce.
The India-Pakistan ceasefire is technically ongoing, but India denies any third-party intervention and has only paused its military operations.
The Israel-Hamas ceasefire remains fragile with occasional Israeli military strikes, and the Israel-Iran ceasefire is holding due to Israel's decision to halt operations.
