唐纳德・特朗普总统开启第二任期刚满一年，于周二发表国情咨文，为其主导的一系列重大政策改革与行政举措辩护，这些政策正是当下美国的核心议题。
从近期被最高法院裁定无效的高额全球关税，到国内移民执法体系改革，再到不断升级的伊朗局势紧张，全美目光都聚焦于这位在国会山发表演讲的总统。
美国广播公司、《华盛顿邮报》与益普索于周日联合发布的民调显示，特朗普的整体不支持率已达60%，创下其第二任期内新高。
随着 11 月中期选举临近、国会控制权面临易主风险，特朗普推出多项新举措，聚焦民生成本问题，并宣扬其政府在提振美国经济上的努力。
在周二晚间的演讲中，美国广播公司对总统部分可能存在夸大、需补充背景或不实的言论进行了实时事实核查。 特朗普言论：“过去九个月，没有任何非法移民获准进入美国。” 事实核查：虚假，但非法越境人数大幅下降 特朗普政府通过行政权力在南部边境推行一系列限制性政策后，非法越境人数较拜登政府时期的历史峰值大幅锐减。
美国海关与边境保护局数据显示： 2024 年(拜登任期最后一整年)，边境非法移民拦截量超 150 万人次; 2025 年(特朗普第二任期首年)，该数字降至不足 2.8 万人次。 这一低位趋势延续至 2026 年，但从未如总统所言降至 “零”。数据显示仍有移民试图越境，且无法确认是否有人成功偷渡未被发现。
—— 美国广播公司 卢克・巴尔、贾斯汀・费舍尔 特朗普言论：“我的政府已将核心通胀率降至五年多来最低水平。” 事实核查：半真半假 近月通胀回落确为积极信号，但并未带来全面物价下跌，实际情况更为复杂。 特朗普就职时通胀率为 3%，目前降至 2.4%; 最新通胀数据表现向好。 但美国民众日常消费价格受多重因素影响： 总统推行的关税推高了生鲜、牛肉、咖啡成本，其中研磨咖啡价格一年内上涨 34%; 美国劳工统计局数据显示，2025 年 1 月至 2026 年 1 月，能源价格上涨 6.3%(多与 AI 技术所需数据中心耗电相关)。 —— 美国广播公司 祖奈拉・扎基 特朗普言论：“12 个月内，我已敲定全球超 18 万亿美元投资承诺。” 事实核查：缺乏证据 18 万亿美元这一数字来源不明，体量极为惊人(美国 GDP 约 31 万亿美元)。白宫官网称，特朗普第二任期上任以来已敲定 9.6 万亿美元国内外投资，官员证实该数字包含 “已落地或已承诺投资”，但未回应 18 万亿的来源。
即便 9.6 万亿美元也存在夸大：例如官网将卡塔尔一笔 1.2 万亿美元标注为 “外国投资”，但实际只是美卡双方约定 “创造至少 1.2 万亿美元经济往来”，并非明确投资。
—— 美国广播公司 祖奈拉・扎基 特朗普言论：“我把处方药 —— 医疗保健的重要部分 —— 从全球最高价降到了全球最低价。” 事实核查：需补充背景 特朗普称美国药价全球最高，相关研究也证实，美国同款药品价格是其他富裕国家的 2.7—4.2 倍。但其推行的 “最惠国定价” 政策遭遇法律与行业阻力，并未全面拉低美国市场药价。
特朗普推出 TrumpRX 等降价渠道并与药企直接谈判，部分试管婴儿、减肥药对无保险自费患者确实降价，但美国整体药价仍居高不下，多数参保人群未感受到明显降幅。
业内专家指出，近期大幅降价多源于拜登签署的早前法案，而非特朗普第二任期行政命令。
—— 美国广播公司 莉兹・内波伦特 特朗普言论：“我要停止向大型保险公司支付所有款项，把钱直接发给民众，让他们自行购买医保。” 事实核查：缺乏证据 平价医保法案税收优惠到期、部分保费翻倍上涨之际，特朗普公布了所谓 “伟大医保计划”，拟将政府保险补贴直接转给消费者。
但白宫发布的视频与一页纸说明完全缺乏细节：未说明资金规模、发放方式、资金来源。卫生政策专家表示，无法判断该计划效果，也不确定其是否会在现有平价医保法案基础上延伸。
此外，该计划看似恢复了特朗普第一任期曾叫停的、对保险公司的联邦直接补贴。
—— 美国广播公司 玛丽・凯卡托斯 特朗普言论：“(非法移民与庇护城市中)毒枭、杀人犯遍布全国，还阻挠我们驱逐这些人。” 事实核查：多数移民拘留者无犯罪记录 尽管政府称国土安全部只抓 “罪大恶极者”，但移民与海关执法局(ICE)数据显示： 2 月 7 日在押拘留者共 68289 人; 仅 26% 为已定罪罪犯，26% 有未决刑事指控; 47% 为普通移民违规者，无任何犯罪记录。 换言之，73% 的拘留者无犯罪前科。
—— 美国广播公司 阿曼多・加西亚、杰克・戴特 特朗普言论：“我们的选举中舞弊猖獗，极其猖獗。” 事实核查：虚假 特朗普多次声称非法移民不当影响联邦选举，但各州选举数据显示此类情况极为罕见。
2024 年选前审计中： 佐治亚州 820 万注册选民中，仅 20 名非公民登记，9 人实际投票; 艾奥瓦州 230 万选民中，87 人投票后自报为非公民。 无党派机构研究指出，大规模选举舞弊指控多源于误解、歪曲或捏造，真实舞弊极少且会被迅速起诉。
—— 美国广播公司 彼得・查拉兰布斯 特朗普言论：“华盛顿犯罪率降至历史最低，今年 1 月特区谋杀案同比降幅接近 100%。” 事实核查：夸大 截至 2 月 24 日，华盛顿暴力犯罪下降 29%，凶杀案下降 67%，降幅显著，但总统未定义 “犯罪”、未提供数据支撑 “历史最低”。
今年 1 月特区共发生 2 起凶杀案(其中 1 起为 2025 年案件补认定)，同比大幅下降，但并非降至零。今年全年已发生 9 起凶杀案，去年同期为 27 起。
事实上，2024 年底华盛顿暴力犯罪已降至 30 多年最低，犯罪下降趋势在特朗普去年 8 月增派联邦力量与国民警卫队之前就已出现。
—— 美国广播公司 比阿特丽斯・彼得森 特朗普言论：“我们摧毁了伊朗核计划，现在他们想从头再来。” 事实核查：基本虚假 去年 6 月美军轰炸伊朗三处关键核设施后，其核计划遭受重创，但未被彻底摧毁。
国际原子能机构总干事格罗西表示，伊朗高浓缩铀库存大部分仍在相关设施内，卫星图像也显示伊朗正在重建。机构估计约 972 磅高浓缩铀下落仍未明确。
特朗普威胁若伊朗不接受新限制将再次打击。美方谈判代表称，伊朗距获得武器级核材料仅 “约一周时间”。
—— 美国广播公司 安妮・弗莱厄蒂 特朗普言论：“伊朗从未说过‘我们永远不会拥有核武器’。” 事实核查：虚假 伊朗已多次明确公开承诺不拥有、不寻求核武器。 2 月 24 日演讲当天，伊朗外长发文：“在任何情况下，伊朗都绝不会研发核武器。” 伊朗总统在联合国演讲：“伊朗从未寻求、也永远不会寻求核弹。” 前总统莱希也曾明确声明：伊朗不寻求核武器，核武器不在国防纲领中。
伊朗一直声称配合联合国去核化要求，尽管联合国监督机构与特朗普总统持相反判断。

Fact-checking Trump's State of the Union address
Just over a year into his second term, President Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union addressTuesday, making his case for sweeping policy changes and executive actions that have come to define America's current moment.
From steep global tariffs that were recentlystruck down by the Supreme Courtto an overhaul of domesticimmigration enforcementand mountingtensions with Iran, all eyes were on the president speaking before Congress at the Capitol.
AnABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll released Sundayfound that Trump's overall disapproval rating is at 60% -- a high for his second term.
With midterm elections in November looming, where control of Congress is at stake, Trump rolled out several new measures to address affordability and tout his administration's efforts to boost the U.S. economy.
Throughout Trump's remarks Tuesday night, ABC News live fact-checked some of the president's statements that may have been exaggerated, need more context or are false.
TRUMP CLAIM:"In the past nine months,zeroillegal aliens have been admitted to the United States."
FACT CHECK:False, but crossings are down drastically
After using executive authority to enforce a series of restrictive policy measures at the southern border, the Trump administration has severely decreased the number of people who crossed the border illegally, down from the record highs of the Biden administration.
According to the data collected by Customs and Border Protection, in 2024, the last full year of Biden’s presidency, there were over 1.5 million encounters with migrants attempting to illegally cross the border. In 2025, the first full year of Trump’s second term in office, that number dropped to just under 28,000.
Those low trends continue in 2026, but have never been at “zero” as the president has often suggested. The numbers suggest migrants are still attempting to cross the border, and it would be impossible to know if any had gone through unnoticed.

TRUMP CLAIM:"Myadministration has driven coreinflationdownto the lowest level in more than five years."
FACT CHECK:Yes and No
While it’s a positive development that inflation has come down in recent months, this hasn’t led to reduced prices across the board. The state of play is more complicated.
The facts are that when Trump took office, inflation was at 3% and today it's down to 2.4%
The most recent inflation report was positive.
But prices for everyday products for Americans are impacted by more than just inflation.
The president’s tariffs have impacted the cost of fresh produce, beef and coffee. Ground coffee prices are up 34% in the past year. And even those increased costs aren’t all due to tariffs.
Bureau of Labor and Statistics data also show Americans are paying more for energy (in many cases due to the data centers needed to power AI technology), up 6.3% from January 2025 to January 2026.

TRUMP CLAIM:"In 12 months, I secured commitments for more than $18 trillion pouring in from all over the globe."
FACT CHECK:Lacks evidence
It is unclear where the $18 trillion number is coming from. It is a huge number. U.S. GDP is $31 trillion. On theirwebsite, the White House says they have secured $9.6 trillion in domestic and foreign investments since Trump took office for his second term. A White House official confirmed that this figure includes “investments that have materialized or committed,” but they did not answer ABC News' questions about where the president’s $18 trillion number is coming from.
The White House’s $9.6 trillion in investments also appears to be inflated, as other sums are included in their calculations. For example, the website lists a $1.2 trillion “foreign investment” from Qatar. But according to a White Housefact sheetdistributed when the deal was made, the U.S. and Qatar had agreed to “generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion" -- not an explicit investment.

TRUMP CLAIM:"I took prescription drugs, a very big part of health care, from the highest price in the entire world to the lowest."
FACT CHECK:Needs more context
Most favored nation pricing ties what the U.S. pays for a drug to the lowest price that the drugmaker charges in other wealthy countries, according to the health information non-profit KFF. Trump said Americans pay the highest drug prices in the world, and one recent study supports that, finding U.S. prices run about 2.7 to 4.2 times higher than in other wealthy nations for the same medicines. But KFF reports the policy has faced legal and industry pushback and has not broadly lowered prices across the U.S. market.
Trump has pointed to discount efforts such as his website, TrumpRX, and direct negotiations with manufacturers to slash prices. Some lower cash prices have appeared for certain IVF and weight-loss drugs, largely for uninsured and cash-paying patients, but overall U.S. drug prices remain high and many insured patients have not seen major reductions.
Ben Jolley, senior fellow for healthcare at the American Economic Liberties Project, said manufacturers were already under pressure to cut prices and that the discounts apply to limited purchasing channels, not overall list prices. He noted that some of the largest recent price cuts stem from earlier laws, including the Medicare drug price negotiation program under the Inflation Reduction Act and higher Medicaid rebates under the American Rescue Plan, both signed into law by Joe Biden. Jolley, who is a pharmacist, said pharmacists have not seen sweeping day-to-day reductions at the counter clearly tied to executive actions during Trump’s second term.

TRUMP CLAIM:“I want to stop all payments to big insurance companies and instead give that money directly to the people so they can buy their own health care.”
FACT CHECK:Lacks evidence
Last month, with tax breaks for the Affordable Care Act marketplace expiring and premiums increasing by 100% for some -- Trumpunveiled his idea for a health care planthat he claimed could replace the ACA. The so-called "The Great Healthcare Plan" proposes to shift government insurance subsidies directly to consumers and take advantage of its "most favored nation" drug price initiative.
During his speech, Trump said the health care plan would “stop all payments to big insurancecompanies, andinstead give that money directly to the people so they can buy their own health care.”
However, thevideo messageandone-page fact sheetposted by the White House were light on specifics about how much money would actually go directly to Americans, how much funding the plan would require or how the funds would be distributed. Some health policy expertspreviously told ABC Newsthat there's no way to tell how impactful these ideas could be and if they will expand on the plans already in existence through the ACA.
Additionally, the original ACA included cost-sharing reduction payments, which are federal reimbursements that compensate insurers for reducing out-of-pocket costs. The first Trump administration halted direct federal payments, but “The Great Healthcare Plan” appears to reinstate the payments to insurers.

TRUMP CLAIM:"In many cases, druglords,murderers all over our country.They'reblocking the removal of these people out of our country," Trump said of illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities.
FACT CHECK:Most DHS detainees have no criminal record
While the Trump administration has claimed the Department of Homeland Security is going after the “worst of the worst,” undocumented migrants,ICE datashow a significant portion of detainees at immigration detention facilities have not been convicted of a crime. According to the latest ICE data available, on Feb. 7, there were 68,289 people in detention. That’s down from over 70,000 just a few weeks prior, which immigrant advocacy organizations say was a record high.
According to the data, about one fourth (or 26%) of detainees on Feb. 7 were considered “convicted criminals.” Another 26% had pending criminal charges. 47% or 32,364 detainees were classified as “other immigration violators,” people with no criminal convictions or pending charges.
In other words, 73% of detainees on Feb. 7 had no criminal convictions.

TRUMP CLAIM:“The cheating is rampant in our elections, it's rampant.”
FACT CHECK:False
Trump has repeatedly alleged that undocumented immigrants have improperly influenced federal elections, but state voting data suggest that such instances are incredibly rare.
In 2024, voter roll audits in states including Georgia, Ohio, and Iowa, leading up to the 2024 election, uncovered very few instances of noncitizen voting in federal elections. A comprehensive audit of Georgia's voter rolls -- which include 8.2 million registered voters -- uncovered 20 noncitizens who registered to vote, including nine instances when noncitizens actually cast a ballot. A similar audit of Iowa's 2.3 million voters revealed 87 instances where individuals cast ballots and later self-reported as noncitizens.
According to research from the non-partisan nonprofit Center for Election Innovation&Research, allegations of sweeping and coordinated voter fraud generally arise from “misunderstandings, mischaracterizations, or outright fabrications about complex voter data,” and most instances of voting fraud are rare and swiftly prosecuted by authorities.

TRUMP CLAIM:"Crime in Washington is now at the lowest level ever recorded, andmurders in D.C. this January were down close to100% froma year ago."
FACT CHECK:Exaggerated
Although President Donald Trump claimed Washington, D.C., is at the “lowest level ever recorded” for crime, he did not define “crime” or cite data to support his claim that it is at an "all-time-low."
The Metropolitan Police Department’s year-to-date figures show violent crime down 29% and homicide down 67% as of Feb. 24, reflecting a significant decline. While this is a significant reduction in crime, it's not clear how he concludes this is an all-time low.
Trump also said, “murders in DC this January were down close to 100% from a year ago.” Homicides were extremely low in January.D.C. police reported two homicidesin January, one of which stemmed from a 2025 death that was later ruled a homicide. That is a sharp drop, but not a drop to zero.
There have been nine homicides in the Nation's capital this year compared to 27 murders at the same timelast year.
Violent crime and homicides were already declining before President Trump surged federal law enforcement and the National Guard last August. At the end of 2024, the Justice Department said violent crime in Washington fell in 2024 to its lowestlevel in more than 30 years. MPD year-end totals show homicides fell 32% from 2024 into 2025.

TRUMP CLAIM:"We wiped it out and theywantto start all over again," Trump said of Iran's nuclear program.
FACT CHECK:Mostly false
Iran’s nuclear program was severely damaged last June after the U.S. military struck three key nuclear sites with bunker-busting bombs. But, analysts and international inspectors say it was not entirely destroyed.
Rafael Grossi, head of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, said in a recent interview with the French television network TFI that much of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium likely remains at those sites. Analysts also point to satellite imagery showing Iran rebuilding.
According to a translation, Grossi said, “Some of it [the enriched uranium] may be less accessible, but the material is still there.”
The IAEA estimates some 972 pounds of highly enriched uranium remain unaccounted for.
Trump has threatened to strike Iran if it doesn’t agree to new curbs on its program.
This weekend, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who is leading negotiations with Iran on Trump’s behalf, suggested there was a newfound urgency.
“They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material, and that's really dangerous. So, [we] can't have that,” said Witkoff in a pre-taped interview with Lara Trump that aired on Fox News on Saturday.

TRUMP CLAIM:Trump says Iran hasn’t said “wewill never have a nuclear weapon.”
FACT CHECK:False
When referencing recent diplomatic talks with Iran, Trump claimed that the U.S. hasn’t “heard those secretwords,‘wewill never have a nuclear weapon.'"This is false.
Iran has plainly stated on multiple occasions that the country does not have or intend to have nuclear weapons.
Hours before Trump’s speech on Feb. 24, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi posted on social media, “Our fundamental convictions are crystal clear: Iran will under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon.”
Earlier, in a speech to the United Nations, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said, “I hereby declare once more before this Assembly that Iran has never sought and will never seek to build a nuclear bomb.”
On Sep. 21, 2022, former President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi said,“I explicitly declarethat the Islamic Republic of Iran is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons and such weapons have no place in our defense doctrine.”
Iran has maintained a position that it is cooperating with the UN’s expectations for denuclearization, though UN watchdogs and the President have suggested the opposite.
