Trump repeats false claims in UN General Assembly speech

news.yahoo.co.jp (Japanese) —

President Trump delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly on September 22, repeating numerous false and misleading claims on topics including ammunition supplies, oil reserves, and drug seizures. Fact-checks contradict his statements. Defense experts report depleted US weapons stockpiles, particularly Patriot interceptors, following the war with Iran. His claim that the US and Venezuela hold 60% of world oil is inaccurate, as their combined reserves represent only about 22%. Regarding drug interdiction, experts say it is impossible to verify his claim of destroying 97% of narcotics, as seizure data only measures enforcement actions, not actual smuggling volumes.
