What the evidence supports

False

Drugs entering the United States by sea were down 97%.

A narrow CBP seizure series fell sharply, but seizures do not measure how much drug traffic enters the country, and broader Coast Guard data did not support the claimed 97% decline.

False

$18 trillion was being invested in the United States.

AP found no evidence for that total; the White House’s own broader compilation was substantially lower and included speculative commitments.

Transcript audit

3 transcripts located

These full-text records were checked for testable factual claims. A verdict appears above only when corroborating evidence supports one.

Bottom line

This january re-audit retained only attributable Trump claims supported by claim-specific evidence. Verdicts: 0 Supported, 2 False, 0 Misleading and 0 Unresolved.
