What happened
An AP fact check of the eight listed conflicts found Egypt-Ethiopia was "heightened tensions, not war," Serbia-Kosovo had no threat of war during his term, India disputed his role in the India-Pakistan ceasefire, fighting continued between Rwanda-backed M23 rebels and Congo, the Armenia-Azerbaijan treaty was unsigned and unratified, and Cambodia-Thailand fighting resumed in December 2025. He repeated the claim at the UN on September 22, 2026, where CNN's fact check again rated it false; by then the U.S. itself was seven months into a war with Iran.
