'Ended 6 wars in 6 months': Trump repeats claim as he pushes for end to Ukraine, Gaza wars
Trump initially made the remarks in a Truth Social post on Monday as he called for the destruction of Hamas as he pushes for an end for the Gaza war as well.
US President Donald Trump made a big claim ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian president Zelensky, on Truth Social as he claimed that he was the one who ended “six wars in six months".
The US President reiterated his claim during Monday's Oval Office meeting with Zelensky as he works for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
“I have ended 6 wars and I thought that maybe this would be the easiest one. And it's not the easiest one. It's a tough one...India-Pakistan, we are talking about big places. You take a look at some of these wars, you go to Africa and take a look at that. Rwanda and the Congo - that has been going on for 31 years. We have done a total of 6, not including the fact that we totally obliterated the future nuclear capability of Iran...I feel confident that we are going to get this war off”, said Trump.
Trump initially made the remarks in a Truth Social post on Monday as he called for the destruction of Hamas. The US president added that destroying Hamas was the only way to get the remaining Gaza hostages back home.
“We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!!" wrote Trump.
“The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be. Remember, I was the one who negotiated and got hundreds of hostages freed and released into Israel (and America!). I was the one who ended 6 wars, in just 6 months." Trump added.
"I was the one who OBLITERATED Iran’s Nuclear facilities. Play to WIN, or don’t play at all! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” POTUS added further, referring to the US strikes on Iran in June during Tehran's 12-day conflict with Israel.
In another post on Truth Social, the US president reiterated his claim of stopping six wars as he targeted media and radical left democrats for spreading lies and fake news.
“I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS, that is Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine. I’m only here to stop it, not to prosecute it any further. It would have NEVER happened if I was President. I know exactly what I’m doing, and I don’t need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them. They are “STUPID” people, with no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current R/U disaster more difficult to FIX. Despite all of my lightweight and very jealous critics, I’ll get it done — I always do!!!” wrote Trump.
Trump focuses on Ukraine, Gaza wars
Since before his return to the White House, Donald Trump has claimed that he could bring an end to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine in 24 hours.
Six months later, the US president continues to try and end the wars. While the Gaza talks are in limbo, Trump is working towards a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Days after meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Trump is set to meet Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House on Monday.
Which other wars has Trump claimed to stop?
Over the past few months, Donald Trump has claimed to stop many wars and conflicts - starting with the stand off between India and Pakistan in May.
Despite contradictory statements from India, Trump has claimed he was the one who stopped the conflict between the two nations before it escalated into a full-blown war. Pakistan has also acknowledged Trump's role and even backed the US president for a Nobel Peace Prize.
In June, Trump intervened in the Iran-Israel conflict by ordering US strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities. The strikes brought the Middle East to the brink of a new regional war. However, after negotiations and many social media posts, Trump announced both Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire.
Most recently, the US brokered a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan, ending the decades long Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Before this, the US president added pressure for a ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia after deadly border clashes between the two Southeast Asian nations.
As per the White House, Trump, who is pushing for a Nobel Peace Prize for himself, has also ended the conflicts between Serbia and Kosovo; Egypt and Ethiopia; and Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“President Trump is proving that nations across the globe can move beyond longstanding conflicts of the past toward a shared future of peace, prosperity, and success,” read a statement issued by the White House.
