Welcome to The World in 10.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
Today with me, Alex Dibble and Toby Gillis.
Donald Trump's latest claim that Israel's war in Gaza will reach a conclusive end in two to three weeks is his latest attempt to put a time frame on how long the war will last.
He did similar before returning to the White House in January about Ukraine.
Until now,
his predictions for those two major conflicts of his presidency have not proven to be correct.
But Ukraine and Gaza are not the only wars, or potential wars,
the US president has had to handle over the last seven months.
He actually claims to have ended or prevented seven, five of which since January.
So is he really the great peacemaker of our time?
Today's guest is Catherine Philp, the Times' World Affairs Editor,
who's written on most of Trump's resolved, in his words, conflict at one time or another.
Catherine, talk to us about Donald Trump's attitude to war as president.
Would you say he has a one-size-fits-all approach,
or are there signs that he does really appreciate the nuances of each issue that he's faced?
I think that Donald Trump and nuance are strangers to one another.
His preeminent motivating goal in all of this, I think really is,
and I wouldn't say this if I didn't believe it was true,
and it's taken me a long time to really think this was true.
