Trump falsely claims he settled eight wars and denies climate warming in UN address

During his UN General Assembly address, Trump made multiple false claims. He asserted he had 'settled eight wars,' but two situations he cited were never wars during his presidency (e.g., the conflict in Yemen and the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute) and others remain unresolved. He falsely claimed the planet was cooling, contradicting global temperature records. He cited $21 trillion in investment commitments, while White House data showed $11.2 trillion. He claimed Washington D.C. crime fell 87%, when the actual decline was about 23%. (A separate event covers his false claim about unlimited munitions supply.) Multiple news organizations, including PolitiFact, Newsday, SFGate, and CNN, fact-checked the speech and found the claims inaccurate or significantly exaggerated.

“I have settled eight wars.” — Trump made this claim during his UN General Assembly address, but fact-checkers noted that two of the conflicts he referenced were not wars during his presidency and others remain unresolved. Quote verified against source
