In Nato summit gaffe, Trump says ‘Islamic Republic of Japan’ fired missiles at US ship
Trump’s remarks at the NATO summit also included new warnings of more U.S. strikes against Iran as he discussed the ceasefire’s collapse.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump made verbal slips at the NATO summit in Turkey, referring to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin" during bilateral meetings.
- The trip has been dogged by controversy as Trump sparked outrage with comments about annexing Greenland from Denmark and trashed Iranian leaders while his ceasefire deal falls apart.
- Bragging about his popularity, Trump boasted about "acing" cognitive tests, though medical reports assert he remains in "excellent health" and fit to serve as Commander-in-Chief.
- Trump claimed "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan" while discussing Iran and confused the JCPOA nuclear deal with the acronym "JCPOC."
