Trump Draws Laughter from European Leaders with Geographic Blunders đđ€Ł
They say everyone slips up with geography sometimes â but when youâre the President of the United States, every mistake becomes a headline.
Recently, Donald Trump gave European leaders plenty to laugh about after a series of baffling geographical mix-ups.
âMany People Come from the Congoâ đ
Trump once admitted he didnât know where the Congo was, remarking:
âMany people come from the Congo. I donât know what that is.â
It was one of several moments that made even his supporters raise eyebrows.
He also mixed up Hungary and Turkey â calling Viktor OrbĂĄn âthe leader of Turkeyâ â and claimed Hungary was âright next to Russia.â
Then, during a meeting that actually took place in Alaska, Trump reportedly said, âWeâre going to Russia.â
The AlbaniaâAzerbaijan Mix-Up đŠđ±đŠđż
On Fox News, Trump boasted,
âI solved wars that were unsolvable â Azerbaijan and Albania.â
The problem? Those two countries have never been in conflict â and theyâre on completely different sides of Europe and Asia.
At a summit in Copenhagen, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama jokingly told French President Emmanuel Macron and Azerbaijanâs Ilham Aliyev:
âYou should thank President Trump â he made peace between Albania and Azerbaijan.â
Macron, playing along, laughed and replied:
âIâm sorry for that.â
The room erupted in laughter.
âAber-baijanâ and More
During a later press event, Trump mispronounced Azerbaijan as âAber-baijanâ and again confused it with Albania, proudly insisting he had âsettledâ their imaginary conflict.
Despite the blunders, Trump did help mediate peace talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia, though he later blended details, claiming everyone hugged at the end in the Oval Office.
The Takeaway
While Trumpâs confidence is never in doubt, his map skills remain⊠debatable.
European leaders laughed, social media went wild, and Trump â unfazed â called it another âgreat success.â
Because in his world, every mix-up still ends with a victory speech.
