🇺🇸 Donald Trump
Trump mistakenly refers to Brazil as India during poll remarks
What happened
US President Donald Trump commented on Brazil's presidential election, stating that 125 million people had voted in the "first round of India's presidential election". This comment appears to be an error, as India does not hold a direct presidential election. Trump made the remark on social media, which was reposted by the White House's official account. Social media users corrected Trump, pointing out the mistake.
