Donald Trump claims to have resolved seven conflicts worldwide, including agreements or ceasefires in Nagorno-Karabakh, DR Congo-Rwanda, Serbia-Kosovo, Egypt-Ethiopia, India-Pakistan, Thailand-Cambodia, and Israel-Iran, though some deals are economic or fragile, and their long-term success remains uncertain.
