The BBC Verify team were closely monitoring comments made by world leaders during yesterday’s summit.
Here are two claims fact-checked by Jake Horton and Nick Beake.
Did Trump end six wars without a ‘ceasefire’ being mentioned?
When asked if he would seek a ceasefire before negotiating a full peace deal, Trump claimed he had ended six wars, “without even the mention of the word ceasefire.”
But Trump has used the word “ceasefire” repeatedly when talking about these conflicts.
“India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE,” he posted in May.
The president also posted the timings at which Israel and Iran would “start the CEASEFIRE”.
And after fighting between Thailand and Cambodia, Trump called on the Thai leader to “request a Ceasefire, and END to the War” before an official ceasefire was announced by US , externalS, externalecretary of , externalS, externaltate Marco Rubio, external.
The White House has previously listed remaining three wars as being between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia.
No evidence for Trump’s figure on US spending on Ukraine
Trump said “well over $300bn” had been spent on US military support for Ukraine, but we can’t find any evidence for this claim.
The US spent a total of $130.6bn (£98.9bn) between 24 January 2022 and 30 June 2025, according to the Kiel Institute, external.
The US Department of Defense has a higher figure. It said $184.8bn has been, external “appropriated”, external for Operation Atlantic Resolve, the military response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
