Donald Trump a-t-il vraiment mis fin à six guerres ? ➡️ https://t.co/fXy1bwSIzf https://t.co/eJ3CeWGOqy
President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on 18 August, during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that he has “settled six wars in six months,” one of which he said risked a nuclear catastrophe. He repeated the assertion on his Truth Social account the same day, portraying the effort as evidence of his credentials as a global peacemaker while he seeks a resolution to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to the White House list cited by Trump and conservative media, the six conflicts involve Israel and Iran; Cambodia and Thailand; India and Pakistan; the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda; Serbia and Kosovo; and Egypt and Ethiopia’s dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Trump said his diplomacy produced cease-fire deals or de-escalation agreements across these theatres, comparing the pace of those moves with the continuing war in Ukraine. Fact-checking organisations—including PolitiFact, PBS News and CNN—describe the claim as exaggerated. Several governments mentioned, notably India and Serbia, have publicly downplayed any decisive U.S. role, while analysts note that hostilities continue in most of the regions and that some agreements amount only to fragile cease-fires brokered in part by regional blocs such as ASEAN or the European Union. Experts also point out that the administration’s tally omits unresolved conflicts such as Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. PolitiFact rated Trump’s “six wars” statement “Mostly False,” concluding that while Washington has facilitated negotiations—such as a July cease-fire on the Cambodia-Thailand border and a June declaration between Congo and Rwanda—none of the disputes is comprehensively settled. Trump’s boast comes as he positions himself for a potential Nobel Peace Prize and presses European and NATO leaders to back an as-yet-undefined peace plan for Ukraine. U.S. appropriations for Kyiv total roughly $185 billion, far below the more than $300 billion figure Trump cited in the same exchange, according to White House budget data.
