Trump’s Second Term and the “Peace Treaties” brokered by the US listed

Since his second term began in January 2025, President Donald Trump has claimed numerous global peace accomplishments. While a few, like the Armenia‑Azerbaijan deal and the DRC–Rwanda agreement, are well-documented, many others remain disputed or unverified. This article examines each claim, outlining the U.S. role, the issues involved, and how MAGA supporters have reacted to bolster Trump’s peacemaker narrative.

1. Armenia–Azerbaijan Peace Agreement (Verified)

In August 2025, Trump hosted Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders at the White House to sign an accord ending decades of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The deal included border recognition, regional security cooperation, and a U.S.-monitored trade corridor. It marked a major shift in diplomacy in the South Caucasus.

MAGA reaction: Widely celebrated as Trump’s signature foreign policy victory. MAGA supporters touted it as evidence of leadership deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize.

2. DR Congo–Rwanda Peace Declaration (Verified but Tentative)

Trump facilitated the signing of a declaration between DR Congo and Rwanda, focusing on territorial recognition, disarming rebel groups, refugee resettlement, and mineral trade cooperation. Though not a full peace treaty, it was a diplomatic breakthrough after years of cross-border tension and violence in eastern Congo.

MAGA reaction: Seen as proof of Trump’s ability to broker peace where previous administrations failed, especially in Africa, an often-ignored region by Western diplomacy.

3. U.S.–Houthi Ceasefire in Yemen (Verified but Disputed)

In May 2025, Trump announced a ceasefire deal with the Houthi rebels, aimed at stopping Red Sea attacks on U.S. vessels. While violence declined, critics argue the Houthis interpreted it as a U.S. concession. Israel was not involved in the talks, and clashes elsewhere in Yemen persisted.

MAGA reaction: Supporters hailed it as a bold step to end a “forever war” without endless military deployments. Some, however, were divided on whether it was too conciliatory.

4. India–Pakistan Ceasefire Claim (Disputed)

Trump claimed he convinced India and Pakistan to halt border tensions and focus on trade. However, the Indian government denied any third-party mediation, and no formal document or joint statement has emerged supporting Trump’s claim.

MAGA reaction: Loyalists praised Trump for “bringing peace to South Asia,” while critics questioned the credibility. Supporters argued that the claim reflected Trump’s broader vision, even if not officially acknowledged.

5. Israel–Iran Ceasefire (Disputed)

Trump announced that he had helped orchestrate a two-stage ceasefire between Israel and Iran, starting with Iranian de-escalation. However, international observers found no evidence of such a formal agreement, and regional hostilities continued sporadically.

MAGA reaction: Viewed as bold leadership by MAGA figures. Detractors dismissed it as fictional, while supporters maintained that Trump’s behind-the-scenes influence was being deliberately downplayed.

6. Cambodia–Thailand Ceasefire (Some Evidence, Context-Limited)

Trump’s administration claimed credit for mediating a border ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand following minor military clashes. Though both sides reduced tensions, it remains unclear whether U.S. involvement was decisive or symbolic.

MAGA reaction: Promoted as another notch in Trump’s global peacemaking record, even if small. Supporters argued that every peaceful outcome, no matter the scale, was a win for “America First diplomacy.”

7. Gaza Strip Administration Proposal (Disputed, Controversial)

Trump proposed that the U.S. take administrative control over Gaza, relocate its population, and redevelop it as a tourist zone. The plan sparked global outrage and was denounced as a violation of international law. No formal progress has been made.

MAGA reaction: Some praised it as visionary, bold, and solution-oriented. Others on the right criticized it as impractical and imperialistic, showing a divide even within Trump’s base.

8. Russia–Ukraine Talks / Partial Ceasefire (Unverified)

Trump suggested he had direct influence in halting limited sectors of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, such as energy infrastructure strikes. However, no official confirmation exists, and the war continues with minimal changes on the ground.

MAGA reaction: Supporters believed Trump was working through private diplomacy, claiming mainstream media was suppressing his successes. Skeptics accused the administration of exaggerating influence without evidence.

Other Missing or Stalled Efforts

• Gaza–Hamas Ceasefire Talks: Trump-led discussions stalled amid accusations of bad faith from Hamas.
  
• Russia–Ukraine Peace Plan: Despite initial promises, no formal proposal or framework has emerged from the Trump administration since early 2025.
  

While a few peace agreements, such as those between Armenia–Azerbaijan and Congo–Rwanda, can be independently verified, others remain controversial or unsubstantiated. 

Still, the narrative has resonated with MAGA supporters, who view each claim, verified or not, as a step toward restoring American strength and respect on the world stage. Whether these claims translate into lasting peace remains to be seen.
