Trump’s New Era of Diplomacy: Key Peace Deals in His Second Term

Since Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025, he has focused heavily on reshaping America’s foreign relations through peace agreements and strategic partnerships. While opinions remain divided on his methods, there’s no denying that these deals have made headlines worldwide.

Trump’s approach blends economic incentives, direct leader-to-leader negotiations, and a focus on “America First” principles while aiming for stability in volatile regions. From the Middle East to Asia, the recent agreements mark a continuation of his unconventional diplomacy style.

Armenia–Azerbaijan: A Strategic Play in the Caucasus

The most recent breakthrough came on August 8, 2025, when Trump brought Armenia and Azerbaijan to the table in Washington. The peace deal officially ended decades of bloodshed over Nagorno-Karabakh and introduced an economic twist — a 99-year U.S. development lease over the Zangezur corridor, renamed the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP).

DRC–Rwanda: Cooling Africa’s Hotspot

On June 27, 2025, the Washington Accord brought the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to a rare moment of agreement. The commitments: troop withdrawals, an end to militia backing, and plans for cross-border trade — all in a region where peace is fragile at best.

Yemen: A Red Sea Pause

দ্য May 6, 2025 U.S.–Houthi ceasefire was mediated by Oman and aimed to secure Red Sea shipping lanes. Strikingly, Israel was excluded from the truce — a sign that this was more about U.S. and maritime interests than broader regional peace.

Gaza: Short-Lived Relief

Before Trump even took the oath of office, his envoy helped secure a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release plan. Within weeks, however, the fragile arrangement fell apart, and fighting resumed.

Ukraine: Limited Progress, Bigger Talks Ahead

A March 2025 truce between Ukraine and Russia focused solely on halting strikes against each other’s energy infrastructure. It was a narrow agreement — but it opened the door to a planned August 15 Alaska summit between Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Trump’s 2025 Peace Timeline

Trump’s 2025 diplomacy has been relentless. Some deals may collapse under pressure; others could redefine regional dynamics for years. But one fact is clear — in his second term, Trump is trying to make “the art of the deal” a global trademark once again.
