Widespread Controversy After U.S. State Department Post About "8 Wars Ended by Trump in 8 Months"

The U.S. State Department sparked widespread controversy after posting a message on the "X" platform (formerly Twitter), describing former U.S. President Donald Trump as the "President of Peace," noting that he ended 8 wars in just 8 months.
The department accompanied its post with a picture of Trump waving his hand as he descended from a presidential plane, along with a list of countries or parties that it claimed the former president helped to resolve conflicts between.

List of Conflicts Mentioned by the Department

The list includes: Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, in addition to Israel and Hamas.
The text of the post stated: "The President of Peace who ended 8 wars in 8 months," referring to what the State Department considered diplomatic achievements of the former president in promoting global peace.

American Media Questions the Claims

However, prominent media outlets, including the Associated Press (AP), questioned the validity of these claims, noting that many of these conflicts were not actually resolved, and that some agreements signed during Trump's tenure were symbolic or fragile and did not lead to a permanent cessation of hostilities.

Division in American Public Opinion

The post received sharply contrasting reactions on social media; Trump supporters saw the message as a late acknowledgment of his efforts in international politics, while his critics described it as an attempt to polish his image through an inaccurate recounting of events.
This comes at a time when Trump is seeking to enhance his image as a leader capable of ending global conflicts, especially with upcoming electoral deadlines in the United States.

The Unfulfilled "Nobel Peace Prize" Dream

It is worth noting that Trump had sought to win the Nobel Peace Prize justifying it by his political agreements in the Middle East and his efforts in "promoting global peace," but the Norwegian Nobel Committee ignored his nomination this year, awarding the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado in recognition of her struggle for democracy and human rights in Venezuela.
