Trump Gaffe Mixes Japan and Iran Sparking Outrage
During a NATO summit meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump misidentified the Islamic Republic of Iran. While discussing thwarted attacks, Trump stated that “111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan” were aimed at an aircraft carrier. This significant error, blending Iran with Japan, occurred shortly after President Trump had reportedly insulted President Zelenskyy.
