Donald Trump repeats claim of ending 7 wars, including 'India-Pakistan conflict' at UNGA

“In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars,” Trump declared, listing conflicts between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.

“They said they were unendable, some were going for 31 years, one was 36 years. I ended seven wars and in all cases they were raging with countless thousands of people being killed. No other president or leader has ever done anything close to that,” he said.

The US President also criticised the UN, accusing it of inaction. “It’s not even coming close to living up to its potential… it’s empty words, and empty words don’t solve wars,” he said.

Trump has repeatedly made the claim since May 10, when he announced on social media that the US had mediated a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.

However, both countries have denied any US involvement.

India had clarified that the ceasefire was achieved through talks between the Indian and Pakistani militaries, not foreign mediation.

Speaking in the Indian Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed that Operation Sindoor, launched after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, was not influenced by any external leader.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also backed India’s position, telling Al Jazeera that while Pakistan did not object to third-party involvement, “India never agreed to any third-party mediation on bilateral issues.”

Trump’s remarks are expected to stir fresh debate over the US’s claimed role in conflict resolution, especially given the repeated denials by the countries he has cited.
