Donald Trump's claims that he has ended 6 or 7 wars since being reelected as president of the United States. White house officials say he ended the 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. Trump did initiate talks between most of these conflicting countries however to say he ended 7 wars is an exaggeration. While he ended multiple of these conflicts few of them were or should be considered wars. In the case of other conflicts like Israel and Iran, Trump has helped tensions go down but it is the belief of foreign policy experts that this will be temporary. Trump has helped deescalate many conflicts by negotiating peace talks but ending a conflict takes much longer than what he has accomplished so far. In a more realistic depiction of Trumps efforts to bring peace, Trump has ended around four conflicts, but this opinion can change based on the source.

During my finding I have found that this is true but very exaggerated and misleading he has during his presidency stopped wars from happening but the exact number is off no one knows exactly how many wars he so called "stopped" because each media outlet that he tells this to he says a different number some say 6 or 7 and some say 8 or less so although it is true he's helped stop wars he keeps lying to media outlets about the exact number. FACT FOCUS: Trump says he has ended seven wars. The reality isn't so clear cut | AP News In this source you can see that it claims he has stopped 8 wars but even in this article it brings up the fact that he keeps changing the numbers.

Exaggerated/ Misleading
