“I ended eight wars," President Trump says again. Here are the situations he's said make up the eight-wars list. - A diplomatic dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia that was never a war - Some sort of mystery situation between Serbia and Kosovo that also wasn’t a war under Trump - The war in the eastern DRC that has never actually ended despite a US-brokered peace agreement - The 12-day war between Israel and Iran last year, though Israel proceeded to join the US in going to war with Iran this year - The war between Israel and Hamas, though Israel has continued to conduct frequent attacks in Gaza despite a US-brokered ceasefire - An India-Pakistan ceasefire Pakistan vocally credits Trump for but India claims Trump had nothing to do with - The Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement and Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire in which all parties say Trump/his team was indeed a significant factor
