FACT FOCUS: Trump Made Multiple False and Misleading Claim in Front of the UN General Assembly

Fact-checkers said Trump overstated war settlements, investment commitments and crime declines while dismissing climate warnings at the United Nations.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, repeating claims about settling eight wars and securing $21 trillion in global investments.
  • Trump claimed to have settled eight wars and secured $21 trillion in new investments from global sources; however, the White House's own website lists only $11.2 trillion in major investment announcements.
  • Defending his war with Iran, Trump claimed the U.S. maintains excess munitions and is building them at record levels; the Congressional Budget Office and Defense Department inspector general reported strategic inventory shortfalls instead.
  • Trump claimed crime in Washington, DC dropped 87% since arriving in office, but local police data shows a reduction of about 23% from 2024—a discrepancy the White House has been unable to substantiate.
  • Dismissing climate change warnings, Trump mocked experts by citing past rhetoric about humanity dying in 12 years, despite the World Meteorological Organization reporting that the past 11 years were the warmest on record.
