European Leaders Mock Trump’s Geographic Confusion at Copenhagen Summit

At a European Political Community meeting in Copenhagen, US President Donald Trump was mocked by European leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for repeatedly confusing the countries Armenia and Albania while discussing his role in brokering peace deals. Trump falsely claimed to have ended wars involving Albania and Azerbaijan, leading to a humorous exchange where Rama joked that Macron should apologize for not congratulating them on the peace deal Trump purportedly made. Although Trump did broker a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, his broader claims of ending several wars and resolving conflicts involving Serbia & Kosovo, Egypt & Ethiopia, and de-escalating hostilities between India and Pakistan are disputed or false. This geographic confusion is part of a pattern of public diplomatic blunders by Trump, including misnaming countries and regions, which has become a running joke among world leaders. The incident was captured on camera, highlighting how such mistakes by a sitting US president resonate on the global stage and affect perceptions of his diplomatic credibility.
