Why we checked itSpecific figures (1,300 jobs, 500,000 homes) about a named energy project cancellation that can be verified against public records.
What we foundTrump did issue stop-work orders on the Empire Wind 1 project and it would power roughly 500,000 homes, but the job figure of 1,300 is not corroborated — sources consistently cite approximately 1,000–1,500 workers — and the project is an offshore wind farm, not a Brooklyn project, though it has a staging hub in South Brooklyn.
