In his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made several false or misleading claims. He overstated U.S. munitions stockpiles, which are actually depleted, and exaggerated the combined oil reserves of the U.S. and Venezuela, which are only about 22% of the world's total. He also claimed to have created over 1 million jobs, but the real number is 807,000, and his investment figure of $21 trillion is far higher than the White House's own estimate of $11.2 trillion. These claims were fact-checked by the Associated Press.
