US EditionFACT FOCUS: Trump highlights familiar false claims as he reviews his first year back in office
President Trump highlighted immigration enforcement and Greenland's defense concerns while addressing economic challenges during a 100-minute White House news conference.
- This past week, President Donald Trump presided over a nearly two-hour briefing marking his first year back in office, repeating many false claims and blending achievements with criticism of officials.
- President Donald Trump sought to justify policy shifts using falsehoods and distortions on the economy, immigration, and military deployments, pressing alternative authority after a December Supreme Court limit on National Guard use in U.S. cities.
- Specific claims included `Already, I’ve secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment`, nearly double the White House's $9.6 trillion tally, and tariffs claiming to cut drug prices by `400, 500 and even 600%` which data contradicts.
- Following court challenges, the administration abandoned plans to send the Guard to Portland, Chicago and Los Angeles, and emails show about seven to 10 Oregon National Guard members briefly deployed to an ICE building in downtown Portland on Oct. 4.
- Longer term, analysts note there is little evidence tariffs or strikes revived the manufacturing sector or cut maritime drug trafficking, while falsehoods persist into the 2026 midterms.
