"Some of the conflicts he's counting as wars he resolved were not actually wars at all. For example, Egypt and Ethiopia have argued over an Ethiopian dam project on the Blue Nile, but they were not in a raging war in which thousands of people were being killed. Similarly, Trump has claimed that he prevented conflict between Serbia and Kosovo from resuming, but they were not in a raging war either."
"Throughout the speech, Trump repeatedly antagonized the member countries and told them their countries were going to hell as a result of a number of issues namely immigration. Trump also included many of his go-to claims, including the insistence that crime in Washington, D.C. has been completely eradicated and that the U.S. has become the hottest country in the world under his leadership."
President Donald Trump delivered an hour-long United Nations General Assembly speech that repeatedly antagonized member countries and blamed immigration and other issues for national decline. The speech included claims that crime in Washington, D.C. has been eradicated and that the United States became the hottest country under his leadership. CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale challenged a litany of those claims, saying several conflicts Trump cited as wars were not raging wars, citing Egypt-Ethiopia dam disputes and Serbia-Kosovo tensions, and noting ongoing hostilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo despite a peace deal. India denies Trump mediated its truce with Pakistan, and grocery prices were reported as up, not down.
