What the record shows
Trump claims to have ended eight wars in his first 10 months of his second term. Independent fact-checkers (AP, PolitiFact, CNN, FactCheck) assess he played a role in four conflicts, but many cited disputes were not formal wars, some remain ongoing, and some countries dispute his role.
