I have no idea how credible this site is.

https://www.factcheck.org/2025/08/addressing-trumps-claims-about-ending-multiple-wars/

Trump has claimed credit for settling conflicts between India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia, Thailand and Cambodia, Serbia and Kosovo, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Where's the last war and a quarter though?

Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia.

He keeps claiming different numbers. That article is from a few months ago, too.
