G7 fact check: Trump expresses false claims about Trudeau and Ukraine

During a visit to Canada on Monday as part of a G7-Krapfels repeated President Donald Trump one of his Many false statements about Canada and again incorrectly threw the former liberal prime minister Justin Trudeau from, Russia from to have excluded the group, which was previously known as G8.

In his statements about Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said on Monday: "He was thrown out - by Trudeau, who convinced one or two people together with Obama. He was thrown out. And he is not happy about it, I can tell you that."

In fact, Trudeau only became Prime Minister Canada in November 2015-more than 19 months after the Throughout Russia from the G8 in 2014, a forum of countries with great industrialized business. It was Trudeau's conservative predecessor, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, took the initiative after the Annexion to exclude the crime out of the group in 2014. At that time, Trudeaus Liberals were not even the largest opposition party in the Canadian lower house.

In the meantime, Trump repeated his Long refuted claim that former President Joe Biden had given "$ 350 billion" to help for Ukraine.

However, this number is not nearly correct. According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German Think Tank, the International help for Ukraine Track , the US government had promised about $ 138 billion in military, financial and humanitarian support for Ukraine from the end of January 2022 to April 2025. (This period comprises Trump's current presidency for more than three months.)

In a discussion about undocumented immigrants at the G7 summit, Trump repeated his frequent claim that "bidges have left 21 million people in our country." This number is also wrong. Until December 2024, the last full month under the Biden government, there was nationwide less than 11 million migrants were, including millions, who were quickly shown from the country. Even if you add the so -called "Gothaways", which are estimated by the Republicans in the congress to around 2.2 million, a total value of "21 million" is not possible.
