Since 1945, the United States has had an active foreign policy, with its military frequently involved abroad. While these would not be considered “new wars” for the scope of this fact check, they are worth mentioning.

A comprehensive list of instances of all uses of U.S. armed forces abroad can be seen in a Congressional Research Service report.

Among the most prominent military interventions abroad during the Cold War are the Bay of Pigs invasion during Kennedy’s administration, Reagan’s deployment of U.S. Marines to Beirut during the Lebanese civil war, the invasion of Grenada and the bombing of Tripoli in Libya, both also under Reagan..

Under George H. W. Bush, thousands of U.S. troops invaded Panama in an attempt to overthrow dictator Manuel Noriega and thousands of troops were sent to Somalia on a peacekeeping mission.

Under President Bill Clinton, U.S. troops were sent to Haiti as well as to the Balkans as part of a larger NATO deployment.

Under President Obama, the United States and U.S. allies conducted months-long air strikes in Libya and military operations against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Trump held U.S. military operations attacking Syrian government targets and most recently presided over the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani via U.S. drone strike.
