Trump claims he ended a war - between countries that are 4,000 miles apart
Trump falsely claims to have ended war between Cambodia and Armenia
- Donald Trump claimed to have ended a conflict between “Cambodia and Armenia” during a recent dinner speech, despite no such conflict existing.
- He appears to have confused Armenia's tensions with Azerbaijan and border violence between Cambodia and Thailand, both of which his administration was involved in mediating.
- Trump's administration did help mediate a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand in July, following clashes that resulted in 43 deaths.
- Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet, along with Pakistan and Israel, nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for his “visionary and innovative diplomacy” in defusing the border crisis.
- Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire for a Nobel Peace Prize, frequently citing his diplomatic successes and complaining about not receiving the award.
