US President Donald Trump addresses the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at UN headquarters.

During his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump repeated his previous false claim about China's wind power, claiming that while China produces most of the world's wind technology, it does not utilize wind technology and instead relies on coal and gas, ABC News reported, which multiple US media outlets have listed fact check to debunk the false claims.

Trump claimed that although China is the leading manufacturer of wind turbines, "they have very few wind farms" themselves, according to the report by CNN.

In reality, China is the world leader in the generation of wind power and has massive wind farms onshore and offshore; it continues to install additional wind capacity much faster than the US, per CNN.

The report by The New York Times also noted that "The opposite is true" when referring Trump's claim. 

China has more wind farms and wind power capacity than any other country, and is planning to build more wind farms than any other country, the report added.

Besides, the report by CNN said that Trump repeated some false claims about the Paris climate accord from which he has withdrawn the US during each of his presidencies. At one point, he wrongly said the US was "supposed to pay like $1 trillion" under the accord. It wasn't, the media noted.

The US has never spent or committed anywhere close to $1 trillion in connection to the accord; Biden pledged upon taking office to pay $11.4 billion per year toward international climate financing, but Congress appropriated less than even that, CNN reported.
