President Donald Trump staunchly reaffirmed his assertion of having successfully resolved at least eight international conflicts within the first ten months of his second presidential term, delivering these remarks during a comprehensive national address on December 17, 2025, where he outlined the administration's ambitious policy agenda for 2026 despite facing challenges with declining public approval ratings.

In his speech, Trump emphasized key diplomatic accomplishments, including the comprehensive restoration of American global influence, the decisive neutralization of Iran's nuclear capabilities through targeted actions, and the effective termination of prolonged hostilities in Gaza, which he portrayed as inaugurating an era of unprecedented regional peace in the Middle East spanning millennia.

The President attributed a significant share of these foreign policy triumphs and associated domestic economic gains to his aggressive implementation of tariff measures, asserting that they have facilitated an extraordinary influx of investments totaling over 18 trillion dollars, thereby generating substantial employment opportunities, wage growth, industrial expansion, and bolstered national security by encouraging repatriation of manufacturing operations.

Trump sharply contrasted his administration's performance with that of his predecessor, depicting the situation inherited eleven months prior as one of profound national disarray characterized by vulnerable borders, surging crime rates, disadvantageous international trade arrangements, and systemic favoritism extended to foreign powers and entrenched domestic interests at the expense of American citizens.

While acknowledging the administration's involvement in mediating temporary resolutions to several conflicts and noting external analyses that frequently regard the precise tally of eight resolved wars as an overstatement—incorporating disputes not classified as full-scale wars and agreements of varying durability—Trump further highlighted rigorous enforcement of immigration policies, claiming an unprecedented record of zero unauthorized entries across the southern border throughout his current term.
