Fact-checkers at France 24 and CNN challenged claims made by President Donald Trump in his address to the 2026 United Nations General Assembly. France 24 said Trump falsely or misleadingly described U.S. munitions supplies, claimed that the United States and Venezuela possess 60% of the world’s oil, and said he had ended the war in Gaza.
France 24 reported that accounts of depleted weapons stocks contradicted Trump’s assertion that the United States had more munitions than it could ever use. It also said available figures did not support his oil claim and noted that Israeli strikes and deaths in Gaza had continued since last year’s ceasefire.
