বাংলাUS President Donald Trump delivered a roughly 37-minute address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly on September 22. He discussed wars, Iran, Gaza, artificial intelligence, climate change, investment and crime in the United States. The White House also published an account of the speech. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
US media outlets, including CNN, examined several of Trump’s claims. One major claim concerned his assertion that he had helped resolve eight wars. Trump cited Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Gaza, while also referring to earlier claims involving Iran-Israel and Egypt-Ethiopia.
However, these situations do not all fit the same definition of a war. The Egypt-Ethiopia dispute centered on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and diplomatic tensions rather than a direct war. The Kosovo-Serbia situation also does not represent an ongoing war during Trump’s current term. In the Rwanda-DRC case, peace efforts have continued despite an unresolved conflict.
Trump also claimed credit for ending the Gaza war. Yet international disagreement remains over the status of the conflict and the implementation of peace and humanitarian arrangements. French President Emmanuel Macron publicly challenged Trump’s portrayal of the Gaza situation during his UN address. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Trump’s speech also included claims about climate change. He referred to warnings that people would die within 12 years because of global warming. Climate scientists’ widely cited 2018 assessment did not predict that humanity would disappear within 12 years; it stressed the need for rapid emissions reductions to limit warming to around 1.5°C and reduce severe climate risks.
On investment, Trump said the United States had secured commitments for $21 trillion in new investment from around the world. However, the White House’s own recent figures put announced US investment at more than $11 trillion. The two figures therefore represent substantially different totals. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Trump also said the United States has more ammunition than it could ever use and is producing it at unprecedented levels. At the same time, reporting on US defense inventories has identified pressure on some categories of munitions, particularly missile-defense interceptors. CNN reported concerns about shortages in that area. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
On Iran, Trump defended the ongoing war and warned that he could annihilate Iran if no peace agreement is reached. Reuters reported that his remarks came amid continuing diplomatic efforts surrounding the conflict. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Trump also claimed that crime in Washington, DC had fallen by 87%. Available reporting has questioned the basis for that specific figure, although the White House has separately highlighted declines in violent crime during his administration. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Overall, Trump’s speech at the UN contained a series of major claims about foreign policy and domestic achievements. Some align with figures and descriptions published by the White House, while others have been challenged or qualified by independent reporting and available data.
