CNN debunks five Trump claims from Erdogan meeting at NATO summit

TL;DR Summary
CNN’s Daniel Dale fact-checks five claims Trump made to Erdogan at a NATO summit in Ankara: Greenland is surrounded by China’s and Russia’s ships (false; Danish/Arctic officials say no), that he "settled eight wars" (a misleading list of non-wars), Biden gave Ukraine "hundreds of billions" in equipment (overstated; Kiel Institute puts military aid around $74B and total aid about $132B), that the U.S. has invested "$19.2 trillion" (inflated; White House data shows far less), and that the 2020 election was rigged (false).
