Overview

• USA TODAY’s inventory identifies five ceasefires or agreements since Trump returned to office, not the six he touts.
• The White House pointed to Ethiopia and Egypt as the sixth example, but reporting finds no war or peace accord between them.
• Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement at the White House on Aug. 8, with both leaders publicly praising Trump’s role.
• Other cited deals include DRC–Rwanda, Iran–Israel, India–Pakistan, and Cambodia–Thailand, though India denied U.S. mediation and Trump used trade pressure in Southeast Asia.
• After Aug. 18 meetings with European leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump said he called Vladimir Putin to set up talks, yet concrete progress, security guarantees, and any pre-talks ceasefire remain unclear.
