Overview
- At a one‑year‑in‑office press briefing, President Trump again said he ended eight wars, citing India and Pakistan as being “going to go nuclear” and claiming Pakistan’s prime minister thanked him for saving millions of lives.
- The White House released a “365 WINS IN 365 DAYS” document that includes “brokered peace between India and Pakistan” under its foreign policy accomplishments.
- New Delhi has consistently denied third‑party mediation, stating the May 10, 2025 ceasefire followed Pakistan’s DGMO contacting his Indian counterpart after Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
- News outlets and analysts say the eight‑wars claim is exaggerated, noting Gaza fighting continues despite ceasefires, violence persists around DRC–Rwanda, and some cited cases were not wars, such as Egypt–Ethiopia and Serbia–Kosovo.
- Several cited agreements have proven fragile, with renewed Cambodia–Thailand clashes in December, M23 rejecting elements of the DRC deal, and the Armenia–Azerbaijan treaty still awaiting leaders’ signatures and ratification.
