Overview

• President Donald Trump addressed hundreds of generals and admirals at Quantico, where CNN’s Daniel Dale said the speech contained numerous false claims.
• Trump’s statement that Biden gave $350 billion to Ukraine was refuted with tracking showing roughly $135 billion allocated and about $94 billion disbursed by June 2025.
• The claim that Biden sought to terminate Space Force was contradicted by a 2021 White House affirmation that the branch had the administration’s full support.
• Assertions of having “settled seven” wars were undermined by ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the fact that Kosovo and Serbia were not at war.
• Allegations that Congo and Venezuela emptied prisons to send migrants to the U.S. lack evidence, and the claimed 25 million migrants under Biden conflicts with federal data showing fewer than 11 million encounters through December 2024.
