The claim
米トランプ大統領「日本政府は助けるつもりはないが日本国民は助けるつもり」と発言?
Original review summary
The review found no such statement or announcement on the White House’s or Trump’s websites or social media, and reported no news coverage of it as of August 29, 2025. It also noted that the circulated English wording lacked an object, so it did not mean that Trump said he would help the Japanese people but not the Japanese government.[S1]
