Reuters news agency has published an article regarding US President Donald Trump's claims that he has resolved several wars, including preventing a conflict between Kosovo and Serbia, questioning its article: has he done so?
President Trump has said he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for resolving eight conflicts since taking office in January. However, the claim is widely disputed and conflict has flared up again in some of the regions, including the Democratic Republic of Congo and along the Cambodian-Thailand border, Reuters reports.
This agency has elaborated on the situation in all cases where Trump has claimed to have ended wars or conflicts: between Armenia and Azerbaijan, between Cambodia and Thailand, between Israel, Iran and the Palestinian Territories, between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, between India and Pakistan, between Egypt and Ethiopia, between Russia and Ukraine [he had promised during the campaign], between South Korea and North Korea, and between Kosovo and Serbia.
Here is what the article says, in the section dedicated to Trump's claim of preventing a conflict between Kosovo and Serbia:
Kosovo and Serbia still have tense relations nearly five years after the agreements that Trump brokered with the two countries during his first term to improve their economic ties.
Without presenting evidence, Trump said in June that he "stopped" a war between the two countries during his first term and that "I'll fix this, again" in his second term.
Kosovo declared independence in 2008, nearly a decade after NATO bombed Serbian forces to stop them from killing and expelling ethnic Albanians from the region during a 1998-1999 counter-insurgency war.
However, Serbia still considers Kosovo an integral part of its territory. The two countries have not signed any peace agreement.
Kosovo's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has sought to extend government control over the northern part, where about 50,000 ethnic Serbs live, many of whom refuse to recognize Kosovo's independence.
Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said in July that “in recent weeks,” Trump had prevented further escalation in the region. She did not elaborate, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić denied that an escalation was imminent.
