Ask Google or any AI how many conflicts President Trump ended, and the answer will include the word “claims.” Typical responses say, “Trump claims to have ended seven or eight wars,” followed by caveats that “fact-checkers dispute the accuracy” or “the conflicts remain unresolved.”

These responses reflect the dangers of the biased programming of AI models. They are programmed to dismiss conservative claims or anything positive about President Trump as misinformation, while repeating left-wing talking points. If you push for deeper research, they eventually uncover the truth and even apologize.

According to deeper research, here is the truth about Donald Trump’s peacemaking.

  • Armenia–Azerbaijan (Nagorno-Karabakh) — White House summit and joint declaration on August 8, 2025; Both Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev publicly thanked President Trump and later backed his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Thailand–Cambodia border fighting — Trump appeared at the October 26 Kuala Lumpur signing of an expanded ceasefire. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet announced that his government would nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his role in ending the conflict.
  • Rwanda–DRC (eastern Congo/M23) — U.S.-brokered accord signed June 27, 2025, ending years of cross-border fighting.
  • Israel–Iran (June 2025 “12-Day War”) — U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites were followed by a ceasefire Trump negotiated; both sides credited U.S. intervention for halting the conflict.
  • Israel–Hamas (Gaza) — Trump brokered a multi-phase plan that ended the fighting and established a lasting ceasefire framework. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump for “saving countless lives” and also nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • India–Pakistan (Kashmir flare-up, May 2025) — Ceasefire followed intense clashes; only India publicly denied U.S. mediation, while Pakistan acknowledged Trump’s role.
    • Egypt–Ethiopia (GERD/Nile dispute) — Trump mediated talks that prevented a regional war over the Nile waters.
  • Kosovo–Serbia — Trump facilitated renewed normalization talks; both governments credited the United States for restarting dialogue and easing tensions.

Maltese Foreign Minister Ian Borg formally nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his diplomacy and unprecedented success in reducing global conflict. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi also announced that she would nominate Trump, describing his actions as “a significant contribution to peace and resolving regional conflicts.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte commended Trump for achieving “breakthroughs in global diplomacy,” particularly for restoring dialogue between long-time adversaries.

In addition to ending existing conflicts, President Trump’s Abraham Accords were designed to prevent future ones by reshaping the Middle East. Signed in Washington in September 2020, the Accords normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, later joined by Sudan and Morocco, the first Arab nations to formally recognize Israel since 1994. They established embassies, direct flights, tourism, trade, and security cooperation, replacing decades of hostility with dialogue and shared growth.

In his second term, Trump expanded the Accords with Kazakhstan joining in November 2025 and new talks under way with Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Syria. The recent Gaza ceasefire renewed momentum as Arab governments, once constrained by war, now see normalization as viable.

The Accords have become the model for regional diplomacy, inspiring projects like the India–Middle East–Europe Economic Corridor. By shifting the region from confrontation to cooperation, Trump achieved one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern Middle Eastern peace.

Barack Obama (2009–2017): Obama initiated renewed Israeli–Palestinian peace talks in 2010–2011, persuading both sides to agree to direct negotiations after working with Egypt and Jordan to bring the Palestinian leadership to the table.

However, fighting continued and settlement construction actually accelerated during Obama’s eight years in office, and no major conflicts were definitively ended through final peace agreements during his tenure.

Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” with special emphasis on his vision for a world without nuclear weapons. The award was not given for anything he had achieved, but rather for what he aspired to achieve, and ultimately failed to deliver. Nominations for the 2009 prize closed just eleven days after Obama took office, leading to widespread controversy. A USA Today/Gallup poll found that 61 percent of Americans believed Obama did not deserve the award.

Obama was named Time’s Person of the Year twice, first in 2008 after his election victory, and again in 2012 following his reelection.

Joe Biden (2021–2025): Biden negotiated a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in January 2025, which collapsed almost immediately. He did not successfully negotiate the end of any major conflicts during his term.

Biden has never been nominated for, nor has he won, the Nobel Peace Prize. He and Kamala Harris were jointly named Time’s Person of the Year in 2020 as president-elect and vice president-elect for “changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division.” The two then went on to vilify conservatives and Christians, further dividing the country.

Donald Trump: Trump has been nominated multiple times for the Nobel Peace Prize, including by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July 2024, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet in August 2024, and jointly by Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders later that same month.

Bosnia and Herzegovina officially nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his commitment to establishing lasting peace in Gaza. Although he has not yet won, his multiple nominations reflect international acknowledgment of his role in promoting global stability and resolving conflicts. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded instead to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who, in her acceptance speech, dedicated the prize to him.

Trump was named Time’s Person of the Year in both 2016 and 2024. The 2024 selection cited him “for marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency, and for altering America’s role in the world.”

When comparing their records, there truly is no comparison. Barack Obama initiated talks but produced no lasting peace agreements and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for aspirations rather than results. Joe Biden failed to end any wars and saw his only negotiated ceasefire between Israel and Hamas collapse within days.

By contrast, Donald Trump successfully brokered or ended eight conflicts acknowledged by 15 of 16 heads of state involved, expanded the Abraham Accords to include new nations, and reduced global hostilities more than any U.S. president in modern history.

Though Obama received the Nobel Prize prematurely, Trump’s multiple nominations from world leaders and his two Time Person of the Year honors reflect genuine global recognition of tangible achievements rather than promises.
