Trump is the first president in almost four decades to not start a new war. In addition to avoiding armed conflict, he has made moves to reduce troop levels in conflict zones such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria... When President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, he had been in office less than 10 months.
