“Nobody has done what we did in 7 months. We stopped 7 wars. Russia-Ukraine, which I thought would probably be the easiest, was the most difficult… One of the wars was going on for 31 years—that was said to be unstoppable, and I got it done in about 2 hours; another one was on for 35 years, and another one for 37 years,” Trump said on Friday.

Notably, this is not the first or only time when Trump has claimed to have stopped a war. The American president has on several occasions also taken credit for mediating a “ceasefire” between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor using trade as a tool.
However, India has always dismissed his claims, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament making it clear that “no world leader asked India to stop Operation Sindoor.”

Earlier, during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in August, Trump had said that he had thought ending the Russia-Ukraine war was the “easiest one,” but it turned out to be a “tough one”.
“The war (Russia-Ukraine) is going to end. When it ends, I can’t tell you but the war is going to end, and this gentleman wants it to end and Vladimir Putin wants it to end. I think the whole world is tired of it. We are going to get it ended. 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,” Trump told reporters, with Zelenskyy by his side.
