President Donald Trump is trying to brand himself as a global peacemaker, boasting on Monday that he has ended six wars in his second term. As evidence, Trump is citing his track record in the hopes of showing he can achieve a breakthrough in Ukraine.

Trump made the comment as he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in the White House. “I’ve done six wars — I’ve ended six wars,” Trump told reporters. “Look, India-Pakistan, we’re talking about big places. You just take a look at some of these wars. You go to Africa and take a look at them.”

The White House had issued a statement earlier this month dubbing Trump the “President of Peace.” It went on to list agreements or diplomatic initiatives in a number of regions.

The statement cited steps by Armenia and Azerbaijan; Cambodia and Thailand; Israel and Iran; Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Egypt and Ethiopia; and Serbia and Kosovo. It also referred to the Abraham Accords, which Trump oversaw during his first term to normalize ties between Israel and a number of Arab states.

His team has suggested these were evidence of his statesmanship and have hinted he may be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. But others counter the president’s record is more exaggerated than real, with some of these agreements amounting to little more than temporary ceasefires.

Ceasefires vs. Peace Agreements

In the case of Israel and Iran, the White House touted a truce to end a 12-day war, but decades of hostility and U.S. military involvement in Tehran’s nuclear facilities cast doubt on any claim to a permanent peace agreement.

Trump’s past record also shows some limitations. His efforts to end the longstanding conflict between Israel and Hamas collapsed in violence in the Gaza Strip. North Korea also continues to expand its nuclear weapons program despite Trump’s high-profile summits with leader Kim Jong Un.

In some cases, however, deals have drawn notice. Earlier this month, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace declaration at the White House agreeing to recognize each other’s borders and renounce violence. The deal also created a U.S.-controlled transportation corridor, a symbolic gesture given the moniker the “Trump Route for Peace and Prosperity.”

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev heaped praise on Trump at the White House ceremony, saying, “President Trump, in six months, did a miracle.” Analysts caution, however, that difficult territorial disputes between Armenia and Azerbaijan remain to be resolved.

Pressure Tactics in Asia

In Southeast Asia, Trump has used economic pressure to defuse a border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand that left at least 38 dead. He threatened to suspend trade deals with both countries, a move which helped bring an end to the fighting. The agreement was also backed by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. But Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet also went so far as to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in a show of “extraordinary statesmanship.”

Trump has also injected himself into a border flare-up between India and Pakistan in May. Pakistan has applauded the role of Washington in mediating, but India has rejected suggestions it needed U.S. help. The agreement between the two countries is fragile, and the long-running Kashmir dispute could see fresh fighting.

Fragile Deals in Africa and the Balkans

Trump has also pointed to a deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo that had elements of recognizing borders, demobilizing militias and renouncing war. However, one of the rebel movements, M23, rejected the accord and said it had no obligation to honor it. The agreement has also drawn skepticism, with some analysts arguing it is part of a U.S.-Chinese competition for control of African mineral resources.

The reference by Trump to Egypt and Ethiopia relates to a dispute over a massive dam project on the Nile River. Trump has called for both sides to compromise, but they have not reached any binding agreement.

The administration has also highlighted economic normalization agreements between Serbia and Kosovo that date to Trump’s first term in office. However, the two countries are still without full diplomatic ties, and the European Union has been far more involved in most recent negotiations.

Critics say Trump’s style of insisting on public announcements and reaching for quick fixes to difficult problems often undercuts the quiet, detailed work that leads to enduring peace agreements. By cutting funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development and dramatically downsizing State Department staffing, they argue, Trump has left Washington with far fewer tools to cement any agreement.

Nonetheless, some point to some impact. Celeste Wallander, who was assistant secretary of defense under Trump and now is at the Center for a New American Security, said his management of the India-Pakistan crisis showed effective diplomacy. “The ones that were helpful … were conducted in a professional way, quietly, diplomatically … finding common ground between the parties,” Wallander said.

Trump’s apparent focus now is on Ukraine. The question will be whether his mix of blunt leverage, brandishing of his influence and headline-grabbing deals can yield lasting peace. So far, his record is a mix of flashes of success, but also fragile agreements and work left undone which will help shape any historical view of his presidency.
