President Trump often says that he has resolved multiple wars since taking office in January and that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. “I’m averaging about a war a month,” Mr. Trump said in July in Turnberry, Scotland. On Monday at the White House, during talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine aimed at moving toward a peace deal with Russia, he referred to “six wars that I’ve settled.” On Tuesday, in an interview on “Fox and Friends,” he said he had “solved seven wars,” though he did not specify which one he had added. In some cases, warring parties have credited him with advancing peace or calming hostilities. In others, his role is disputed or less clear — or fighting has resumed.
