Here's what Grok had to say:

Since his inauguration in January 2025, Donald Trump has been involved in several reported peace initiatives and ceasefire agreements, though the extent of his involvement and the durability of these agreements vary. Based on available information, here are the key initiatives associated with his administration:

Armenia and Azerbaijan (August 2025): Trump hosted a summit at the White House on August 8, 2025, where leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement to end decades of conflict, particularly over Nagorno-Karabakh. The agreement established the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity," a 20-mile transit corridor in the South Caucasus, with the U.S. securing exclusive development rights. Both leaders praised Trump’s role, though some critics note that previous attempts at resolution by other parties had failed.

Rwanda and Democratic Republic of the Congo (June 2025): On June 27, 2025, a U.S.-brokered peace agreement, known as the Washington Accord, was signed between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to address their nearly 30-year conflict, particularly involving the M23 rebel group in eastern DRC. The deal emphasizes sovereignty, halting support for armed groups, and U.S. access to mineral resources. However, analysts note uncertainty about its implementation, as M23 was not directly involved in negotiations, and Rwanda’s support for the group remains contentious.

India and Pakistan (May 2025): Trump announced a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May 2025, following military clashes over Kashmir. He claimed U.S. mediation was key, and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif acknowledged his role. However, Indian officials, including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, disputed Trump’s involvement, stating the ceasefire was negotiated directly between the two countries’ military officials. Critics argue the ceasefire is fragile, with ongoing violations reported.

Israel and Iran (June 2025): After Israel launched attacks on Iranian military and nuclear facilities in June 2025, followed by Iranian retaliation, Trump authorized U.S. military strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz). A fragile ceasefire was subsequently mediated by the U.S. and Qatar, announced by Trump on June 23, 2025. Experts suggest the U.S. bombing likely expedited the ceasefire, though Trump’s exact influence in negotiations is debated.

Thailand and Cambodia (July 2025): In July 2025, a ceasefire was agreed upon between Thailand and Cambodia after deadly border clashes. Trump claimed he pushed both leaders for the truce, with Malaysia also mediating. However, both sides have accused each other of violating the agreement, indicating its fragility.

Serbia and Kosovo (June 2025): Trump claimed to have prevented a potential escalation between Serbia and Kosovo, stating in June 2025 that they were “on the verge of war” but that he stopped it through trade leverage. Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani supported Trump’s account, but Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić denied any war plans, and there is little independent evidence of an impending conflict or Trump’s direct role.

Egypt and Ethiopia: Trump has claimed involvement in negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam dispute, which involves water rights on the Nile River. In July 2025, he expressed optimism about resolving the issue, but no formal agreement has been reached, and talks have stalled, as confirmed by Egypt’s Foreign Minister in June 2025.

Trump is working on:

Russia-Ukraine War: Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. Since January 2025, he has engaged in diplomatic efforts, including talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Key developments include a 30-day ceasefire agreement in March 2025 (focused on energy infrastructure), a minerals deal signed on April 30, 2025, giving U.S. companies access to Ukraine’s resources, and ongoing negotiations, with a planned meeting with Putin on August 15, 2025, in Alaska to discuss a potential territory exchange. Progress has been limited by mutual accusations of ceasefire violations and disagreements over terms, such as Ukraine’s NATO aspirations and Russia’s claim to Crimea.

Israel-Hamas/Gaza Conflict: Trump has expressed intent to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, proposing a 60-day truce in 2025 to work toward a broader resolution. He hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a “bold vision” for peace, though no concrete agreement has been finalized, and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza persists.
