Here are the "8 wars" Trump says he deserves a Nobel Prize for ending

Driving the news: Trump repeated the claim he has ended multiple wars on Thursday, saying the Gaza peace deal would be "number eight" and he hopes to make the Ukraine-Russia war number nine.

• "Nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months. And I've stopped eight wars. That's never happened before. But they'll have to do what they do. Whatever they do is fine," Trump said of Ukraine and Russia.
• Trump said he didn't oversee the Gaza peace deal to win a prize: "I did it to save lives." Though he's made clear the prize would be nice.
• "I deserve it," Trump said of the Nobel back in February, "but they would never give it to me."

Reality check: Some of the conflicts Trump claimed he resolved date back to his first term and, as AP reports, did not involve actual live wars.

• The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Here's a rundown of the wars Trump says he ended.

Second term — Gaza deal, Israel vs. Iran, more

Gaza war: The peace agreement announced Wednesday arrived two years after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, with more than 67,000 Palestinians killed, Axios previously reported.

• Negotiations to finalize the deal took place in Egypt. The U.S. was represented by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Negotiators from Israel and Hamas, as well as mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, joined talks.
• The "phase one" deal was based on the 20-point peace plan Trump unveiled last week. Hamas agreed to release the remaining Israeli hostages, while Israel is set to withdraw troops from parts of Gaza and observe a ceasefire.

Armenia and Azerbaijan: The two countries, who have fought a series of conflicts since the late 1980s, signed a peace agreement in early August at the White House.

• Though it's unclear if the deal will lead to stability, Trump claimed the two countries would "be friends a long time."
• The agreement includes plans for a major transit route between the territories, which have a closed and militarized border. It's to be called the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity."
• As in several other cases Trump cites, Armenia and Azerbaijan weren't actually fighting at the time the agreement was negotiated and struck.

Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda: The conflict in eastern Congo has lasted for decades in various forms, causing a massive humanitarian crisis and displacing millions of people.

• In June, the U.S. brokered a peace agreement which was signed at the White House.
• However, little has changed on the ground since the agreement, CNN reports. The Congolese army and the Rwandan-backed M23 rebel group have since accused each other of violating the agreement by launching attacks and building up troops.
• The countries are still negotiating on a broader security and economic agreement, with some U.S. involvement.

Israel and Iran: Trump bombed Iran during the 12-day war in June, but later brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Iran to end the conflict.

• The White House has claimed the strikes stalled Iran's nuclear program and delayed any potential conflict.
• Israel has said it may attack Iran again if Tehran starts to rebuild its nuclear program.
• Trump has teased fresh talks with Iran over nuclear weapons, but those have not come to fruition yet.

India and Pakistan: Trump announced a "full and immediate ceasefire" in May for the two countries after world leaders called for peace following a brief conflict.

• The two countries have been facing rising tensions over the disputed Kashmir region. In May, the Indian military launched deadly attacks on Pakistani targets after a terrorist attack in Kashmir.

• India, which stands against any outside intervention in the dispute over Kashmir, has refused to give Trump credit for negotiating the ceasefire.
• Trump said he leveraged trade with the U.S. to end the fighting. "I did that based on trade," Trump said of the conflict Thursday.

Cambodia and Thailand: In July, the two countries agreed to an unconditional ceasefire after a five-day cross-border conflict, per the AP.

• The skirmish caused dozens of deaths and displaced thousands.
• The ceasefire deal was signed after Trump warned that the U.S. might not conduct trade deals with the two countries. But the ceasefire was immediately tested when they accused one another of breaking it.
• Multiple reports suggest Trump wants to preside over a signing ceremony at the ASEAN meeting later this month.

First term — GERD and the Washington Agreement

Egypt and Ethiopia: The African neighbors were in a diplomatic standoff over Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River for years as Egypt feared the dam would threaten its water supply.

• It never turned violent, and no peace agreement was signed. However, Trump claims there would have been a war if he hadn't intervened when he tried to broker a deal.
• Ethiopia later accused Trump of escalating the conflict by saying Egypt wanted to blow up the dam.
• Most recently, surging Nile waters have revived the dispute.

Serbia and Kosovo: These two nations have had territorial disputes since Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, and Serbia refused to recognize Kosovo's independence.

• In 2020, Trump brokered a limited peace agreement — a short-term economic normalization deal called the Washington Agreement — between the two countries.
• Relations between Serbia and Kosovo still remain unstable today even as NATO has pushed for peace talks. Earlier this week, Serbia accused Turkey of violating international law by supplying weapons to Kosovo.
• Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti told Axios on the sidelines of last month's UN General Assembly that he believes Trump helped avert a "bad and grave" escalation by Serbia earlier this year.
