Their rating
Chris Christie, GOP presidential candidate

“In 1992, this country made a promise to Ukraine. We said if you return nuclear missiles that were part of the old Soviet Union to Russia, and they invade you, we will protect you.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: The Budapest agreement signed in 1994 by Ukraine, Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom did not include an ironclad obligation for the U.S. to protect Ukraine if its borders were violated.

Nikki Haley, Republican presidential candidate

“Ron [DeSantis], you are the chair of your economic development agency that, as of last week, said Florida is the ideal place for Chinese businesses.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Lacks Context

FactCheck.org says: The agency was abolished in May. Its report cited by Haley was about three years old and the fact that it was still available on the website doesn’t necessarily mean that it reflects the agency’s current goals.
