"...so many different wars that were able to end in some cases a little bit before they started, just right before they said that it was going to be late." --Donald Trump
Checking in on the ‘seven un-endable wars’ Trump did (not) end
US President Donald Trump all but nominated himself for the Nobel Peace Prize on Tuesday, claiming in his address to the United Nations that he has “ended seven un-endable wars,” which “were raging, with countless thousands of people being killed.”
Trump claims he has ‘solved’ 8 wars. Here’s what to know about that.
A resurgence of violence along the Thai-Cambodia border, including Thai airstrikes on targets in Cambodia on Monday, comes less than two months after the signing of a peace agreement between the countries that was championed by President Donald Trump as part of a global effort to secure peace deals and secure his reputation as a peacemaker.
“This hasn’t solved the problem,” said Michelle Gavin, a former U.S. ambassador to Botswana and National Security Council member during the Obama administration. Armed forces have yet to withdraw from eastern Congo following the deal, she said.
Israel has continued to hit some targets in Gaza with airstrikes.
Khazar Ibrahim, the Azerbaijan ambassador to the United States, said the Trump deal was not a formal peace agreement and that Azerbaijan has not signed one because the Armenian constitution still refers to territory claimed by Azerbaijan as Armenian.
The White House says it has resolved tensions between Egypt and Ethiopia over a long-standing dam dispute, but in this case there is no apparent agreement.
After 10 days of conflict between two nuclear armed powers, India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire May 10. Trump said he headed off the escalatory tit-for-tat...But India denied a U.S. role, a stance that appears to have contributed to the fading friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During remarks in September, Trump appeared to conflate the Armenia-Azerbaijan and Thailand-Cambodia conflicts.
The sides committed to an expanded agreement in October, but violence resurged in December with each government blaming the other. Thailand carried out a round of airstrikes in Cambodia.
