US EditionFact Check: Debunking 11 of Trump’s False Claims at Cabinet Meeting | News Channel 3-12
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale debunked 11 false claims by Trump on tariffs, inflation, aid to Ukraine, wind energy, Social Security taxes, and troop numbers in South Korea.
- President Donald Trump made multiple false claims during a Tuesday Cabinet meeting at the White House in 2025, including on wind power, inflation, and international aid.
- Trump exaggerated the US military presence in South Korea, wrongly stating there were 45,000 troops when official data showed 26,206 as of March 31, 2025.
- Trump also falsely claimed the US provided more than $300 billion in aid to Ukraine compared to Europe's $100 billion, despite data showing about $139 billion from the US and $298 billion from Europe through April 2025.
- Daniel Villasenor, spokesperson for Gov. Newsom, refuted Trump's claim of weekly California blackouts, stating no rotating outages occurred since 2020 and no power conservation alerts were issued in three years.
- Trump signed a Monday executive order to phase out wind and solar subsidies, despite wind power’s growth and cost-effectiveness, while experts warn cutting wind development cedes leadership and jobs to China.
