‘Stopped 5 Of The Eight Wars’: Trump Claims Tariffs Helped Halt Global Conflicts

United States President Donald Trump on Sunday once again credited his tariff policies for shaping international diplomacy, asserting that financial pressure from trade duties directly influenced global peace efforts. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the United States was “taking in TRILLIONS of Dollars in Tariffs and Investment Dollars from foreign lands because of Tariffs.”

“We are taking in TRILLIONS of Dollars in Tariffs and Investment Dollars from foreign lands because of Tariffs. I have stopped 5 of the eight WARS directly because of the threat of Tariffs if they don’t stop fighting or, better yet, if they start,” Trump wrote in the post.

Trump’s latest comment follows earlier claims that he used tariffs to defuse military tensions between India and Pakistan in May. However, India has never acknowledged any such role in the ceasefire agreement.

Trump’s Deadline For Ukraine 

President Trump has set November 27 as the deadline for Ukraine to respond to Washington’s 28-point peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The move comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine face a very difficult choice, “either losing dignity or risk losing a major partner”.

According to ANI reports citing Fox News Radiom Trump on Friday said the deadline could be flexible only if negotiations show progress. “I’ve had a lot of deadlines, but if things are working well, you tend to extend the deadlines. But Thursday (November 27) is it, we think an appropriate time,” he said.
