President Donald Trump\u2019s interview on US political programme 60 Minutes aired on CBS last night – covering subjects including the cost of living, immigration and the government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Here are three claims I fact-checked from that interview:<\/p>\n

On immigration, Trump said \u201cfor five months in a row [there have been] zero people coming into our country through our southern border\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not true that there have been zero people crossing the US southern border – there are still several thousand migrants apprehended each month – but numbers have fallen dramatically compared with the period under former President Biden. It\u2019s possible that Trump was referring to the five consecutive months that US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have not released any migrants from its custod, external<\/a>y. <\/p>\n

Speaking about grocery prices, Trump said \u201cright now they’re going down – other than beef, which we’re working on\u201d<\/p>\n

Figures published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, external<\/a> show that average grocery prices in the US rose by 0.3% overall between August and September – with beef and veal up 1.2%. Dairy products were the only major food group whose average prices declined month-on-month. Compared with a year ago grocery prices are up 2.7% on average. <\/p>\n

He said that before the federal takeover of the US capital, Washington DC \u201cwas almost like a crime capital of the world\u201c<\/p>\n

While studies suggest the capital\u2019s crime rate is higher than average compared with other major US cities, violent crime in 2024 fell to its lowest level in 30 years according to the most recent full-year police data. Violent crime in Washington has continued to decline so far this year – even before the federal takeover. I couldn\u2019t find any research to back up his claim that it has one of the worst crime rates in the world.
