Joe Biden made this false claim on June 8, 2022, during an interview on the ABC late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!

EXPLANATION: This is false. According to data from the International Monetary Fund, the United States economy grew by 5.7% in 2021, but over 50 other nations had higher economic growth that year. Many countries are expected to continue to grow at a higher rate than the U.S.
