Trump claimed in his State of the Union address that the US has spent over USD 7 trillion in the Middle East. The New York Times fact-checked this claim: A 2016 Brown University study put the cost of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Pakistan from 2001 to 2016 at USD 3.6 trillion. Adding in money for war spending through 2017, the total reached USD 4.79 trillion. In pic: US Senator Bernie Sanders reacts as President Trump delivers his address. (REUTERS)

Trump announced that he will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a second summit on February 27 and 28 in Vietnam. "If I had not been elected President of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea. Much work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong Un is a good one," Trump said. In pic: US Senator Kyrsten Sinema applauds as President Donald Trump delivers his address. (REUTERS)
