Trump claims he stopped ‘Cambodia-Armenia war,’ mistakenly mixing up Azerbaijan

US President Donald Trump stated in his speech on C-SPAN that it was he who stopped the war between Cambodia and Armenia. But instead of Azerbaijan he named Cambodia, confusing the countries in his speech.

During the speech, Trump attributed to himself the credit for “stopping the war” between Cambodia and Armenia. He emphasized that the conflict allegedly was only beginning and could have had serious consequences.

He said that they had Cambodia and Armenia, as well as Kosovo, Serbia, Israel, Iran, Egypt, and Ethiopia, and added that it was beautiful because they had built that little dam in Ethiopia, which was the biggest dam in the world.

Let us note that Armenia conducted hostilities with Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, but Trump confused the states, naming instead of Azerbaijan Cambodia.

Strange slips of Trump

The US President is not for the first time mistaken in his speeches. Thus, he named the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy the President of Russia. At a briefing, the American leader at first several times mentioned Zelenskyy correctly, but then accidentally stated that he is the President of Russia.

Earlier during his election speech, Trump named Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “the leader of Turkey,” confusing him with the current President of this country, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Let us remind that in the middle of August, the US President came to an interview on the TV channel Fox News and stated that he “ended five wars” and “saved many lives.”
