• He wrongly attributed Russia’s ouster to Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau even though it was led by then-prime minister Stephen Harper.
• Trump overstated US aid to Ukraine by citing a debunked $350 billion figure instead of the roughly $138 billion actually committed through April 2025.
• He repeated an unfounded claim that 21 million migrants entered the US under President Biden despite official data recording under 11 million encounters.
• He signaled openness to inviting China into the G7 and will meet President Zelenskiy to discuss additional US weapon shipments to Ukraine.
