President Donald J. Trump asserted that his administration has achieved what no other U.S. president has — ending multiple wars instead of starting them. Speaking to reporters ahead of his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, Trump said his record on peace is unmatched in modern history.

“To the best of my knowledge, we've never had a president that solved one war, not one war,” Trump said. “Bush started a war. A lot of them start wars, but they don't solve the wars.”

The President went on to claim credit for ending “eight” conflicts or military engagements, though he did not specify which ones. His remarks came as he prepared for discussions with Zelenskyy on strengthening U.S. support for Ukraine, emphasizing diplomacy and negotiation over prolonged warfare.

Trump’s statement aligns with his broader “America First” foreign policy stance, which prioritizes ending costly overseas conflicts while maintaining strong national defense. Supporters view his approach as pragmatic and focused on stability, while critics question the accuracy of his claims.

The meeting with President Zelenskyy is expected to highlight continued U.S.-Ukraine cooperation under a framework that balances military aid with efforts to achieve long-term peace.
