US President Donald Trump has asserted that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in resolving eight international conflicts since taking office in January. Among these, he claims to have prevented a war between India and Pakistan.
However, many of the disputes he intervened in remain unresolved or have seen renewed hostilities. For instance, fighting has flared again in the Democratic Republic of Congo and along the Cambodia-Thailand border.
Trump brokered a joint declaration between Armenia and Azerbaijan in August 2025, but a formal peace treaty has yet to be signed. Similarly, a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, facilitated by Trump in October, collapsed within weeks before a new truce was reached in December.
In the Middle East, Trump oversaw a hostage and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in October, but both sides continue to accuse each other of violations. He also expanded the Abraham Accords and intervened in the Iran-Israel conflict, bombing Iranian nuclear sites in June before pressing for a ceasefire mediated by Qatar.
In Africa, Trump engaged with the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but the group has since made further advances. The president's claims of ending wars contrast with ongoing tensions in several regions.
