At the 80th UNGA session, President Trump criticized the UN and repeated his controversial claim of resolving seven major international disputes.
New York – US President Donald Trump made headlines at the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) by repeating his claim that he ended seven ongoing international conflicts — including the India-Pakistan and Israel-Iran disputes — during his presidency.
“In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven unendable wars,” Trump said, calling it a historic accomplishment unmatched by any other world leader.
The Seven Conflicts Trump Claims to Have Ended:
- India and Pakistan
- Israel and Iran
- Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo
- Thailand and Cambodia
- Armenia and Azerbaijan
- Egypt and Ethiopia
- Serbia and Kosovo
Trump offered no evidence or international confirmations to back his statement. Many of the conflicts he mentioned are either long-standing diplomatic disputes or frozen conflicts, and no formal peace treaties or internationally recognized resolutions have been signed under his administration.
Trump Criticizes the United Nations
In the same speech, Trump took aim at the United Nations, accusing the international body of failing to take action in global conflicts.
“The UN did not even try to help,” he said. “It’s not even coming close to living up to its potential… it’s empty words, and empty words don’t solve wars.”
His remarks drew mixed reactions, with critics calling the claims exaggerated or misleading, especially regarding complex geopolitical issues like India-Pakistan relations or the Israel-Iran standoff, where tensions remain high.
Global Reactions and Fact-Checking
Political analysts and foreign policy experts have challenged Trump’s narrative, noting:
- No diplomatic breakthroughs have been recorded in most of the regions listed.
- The India-Pakistan conflict, particularly over Kashmir, continues to be one of South Asia’s most volatile flashpoints.
- Relations between Israel and Iran remain hostile, with no formal peace process in place.
- Other conflicts, like Armenia-Azerbaijan or Serbia-Kosovo, have seen independent negotiations led by regional actors and international mediators—not the US directly.
President Trump’s speech at the UNGA included bold claims about ending seven global conflicts — many of which remain unresolved or active. His remarks have reignited debates about the accuracy of his foreign policy record and the role of the UN in global peace efforts.
