[Trump claims: 101 missiles were fired at the USS Lincoln in just one day, all intercepted]

U.S. media reported that President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that 101 missiles were fired at the "Abraham Lincoln" aircraft carrier within a single day, and all of them were shot down.

The U.S. leader stated during a press briefing at the White House: "There were 101 missiles flying toward the 'Abraham Lincoln' at approximately 4,300 kilometers per hour. All 101 missiles were intercepted." He added that the carrier's technology was "amazing."

He further asserted that possessing the technological capability to respond to such attacks would have been "impossible" even ten or five years ago.

"There were 101 missiles aimed at a ship not too far from the coast, and we successfully intercepted all 101. We have powerful weaponry. The Patriot missile system is outstanding. We possess amazing military capabilities," he insisted.
