    • Ended war through peace treaties or cease fires:

      • India and Pakistan – A flare‑up over Kashmir that ended after several days of clashes when both sides accepted a ceasefire that Trump publicly claimed to have brokered.
      • Thailand and Cambodia – Short border clashes that stopped after outside pressure (including U.S. tariff threats) and a ceasefire facilitated by Malaysia, which Trump counts as one of his “wars.”
      • Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo – Escalated fighting around the M23 rebellion in eastern DRC that led to a Washington‑brokered agreement Trump presents as ending “decades” of conflict.
      • Egypt and Ethiopia – The long dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile, where he has claimed a mediating role even though there was no formal war or final settlement.
      • Armenia and Azerbaijan – The Nagorno‑Karabakh dispute, where he hosted leaders and helped finalize a peace accord after Azerbaijan’s 2023 victory, though fighting had largely ended before his summit.
      • Kosovo and Serbia – Ongoing tensions over Kosovo’s status, where Trump has pointed to U.S.-supported talks and de‑escalation steps as evidence he “ended” their conflict.
      • Israel and Hamas (Gaza) – The 2023‑25 Gaza war, where he claims his “peace plan” and ceasefire framework ended the conflict, although most analysts see this as a fragile truce rather than a definitive end.
    • Got NATO countries to add more GDP to NATO funding.
