As President Donald Trump sat down with the world’s movers and shakers at Davos, White Home employees clearly weren’t paying a lot consideration, mistaking Iraqi President Barham Salih for his Iranian counterpart.
“President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Assembly with the President of the Republic of Iran,” the title of a YouTube video printed by the White Home on Wednesday proclaimed.
Hell had not frozen over, nevertheless, and Trump had not secretly met with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani unbeknownst to the world’s media. As a substitute, the video clearly confirmed Trump assembly with Iraqi President Barham Salih.

Certainly, Trump clearly introduces “the president of Iraq” within the first three seconds of the clip.
However the staffer who titled the video can maybe be forgiven for his or her mistake. In any case, they’re removed from alone. As tensions soared between the US and Iran earlier this month and battle appeared inevitable, a Politico ballot discovered that 77 % of Individuals couldn’t find the Islamic Republic on a map of the Center East. On a zoomed-out map of the world, solely two % of respondents appropriately guessed Iran’s location.
To be truthful, at the very least they didn’t combine up Austria and Australia, a mistake made not solely by George W. Bush in 2007 but in addition CNN in 2016, when it introduced Australia was constructing a fence alongside its non-existent border with Slovenia.
Regardless of the cause, the White Home realized its mistake and corrected the video’s title afterward Wednesday morning.
