Claim 4: “Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, 54, has roasted Donald Trump”
DISPUTED
While Wikipedia and Britannica verify Pedro Sánchez is the Prime Minister of Spain, the claim that he is 54 is contradicted by web search evidence stating he was born in 1972, which would make him approximately 52-53 in 2024/2025, not 54. Additionally, there is no evidence provided in the search results regarding him 'roasting' Donald Trump.
