US President Donald Trump on Monday (local time) reiterated his claim of having settled eight wars in the last eight months, adding that five of those were resolved through “the power of tariffs and the power of trade”.

Speaking during his meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the Oval Office, where both leaders signed a multi-billion-dollar agreement on critical minerals and defence cooperation, Trump made the claims of settling those “wars”, noting that he has “one more to go”, referring to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

“I have settled eight wars in eight months. Not bad. I have one more to go. It’s Russia-Ukraine and I think we’ll get there. But it’s turned out to be nasty because you have two leaders that truly hate each other,” the US President said.
