In late February 2026, Donald Trump said he is working hard to settle the war in Ukraine and prefers to resolve the Iran crisis through diplomacy, while still outlining reasons the United States might go to war with Iran. He told audiences that tariff threats and personal relationships with foreign leaders allowed him to end or avoid several past wars, and that he has now placed responsibility for resolving top global conflicts in the hands of a small circle of trusted figures. These statements shape how US voters and foreign governments judge his record on conflicts and what a future Trump administration might do in Iran, Ukraine and other flashpoints.
