Examining Trump's claim he ended 6 wars in 6 months

President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that he ended six wars — most recently during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he called for an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

But what are these six wars? And did Trump actually "end" them, as he claimed?

We looked into the conflicts Trump may have been referring to and assessed the extent of his involvement in solving them. Our investigation found that Trump’s role in ending some of these conflicts is disputed — or, in some cases, questionable. Snopes reporter Nur Ibrahim has the full breakdown.
