Overview

• At the UN on Sept. 23, President Trump said he had “ended seven un‑endable wars,” naming Cambodia–Thailand, Kosovo–Serbia, DRC–Rwanda, India–Pakistan, Israel–Iran, Egypt–Ethiopia, and Armenia–Azerbaijan.
• Reporting finds several items on the list were not active wars or lack durable settlements, with Egypt–Ethiopia characterized as a Nile dam dispute and Kosovo–Serbia still without a comprehensive peace.
• India publicly denies U.S. mediation credit for May’s four‑day flare‑up with Pakistan, even as Islamabad praised Trump’s role and pushed a Nobel nomination.
• The DRC–Rwanda agreement signed in Washington in June has not halted violence, with follow‑on talks faltering and deadly fighting continuing.
• Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a White House joint declaration in August that remains unratified while core constitutional and border issues persist.
