Trump Proudly Declares End of Hostilities Between ‘Aberbaijan’ and – Albania?

President Donald Trump boasted of ending hostilities between “Aberbaijan” and Albania on Tuesday. While doing so, he managed to flub the name of one country and cite another that had not actually been involved in the conflict in question.
Earlier this month, Trump brokered a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, whose leaders he hosted at the White House for a summit. The two countries have long feuded over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, which broke away from the country with Armenian backing. Azerbaijan retook control of the territory in 2023.
After claiming that the conflict between India and Pakistan was the “easiest” to resolve, Trump turned his attention to “Aberbaijan” and Albania:
A lot of amazing, amazing things. You saw the Aberbaijan. That was a big one going on for 34, 35 years with, uh, Albania. Think of that. I mean, going on for years, and I got to know the heads, and I got to know them through trade. I was dealing with them a little bit, and I said, “Why are you guys fighting?” Then I said, “I’m not gonna do a trade deal if you guys are gonna fight. It’s crazy.”
Anyway, one thing led to other and I got that one settled. And that was one that people said is not– you couldn’t settle it. Even when I had them both in the Oval Office at the end, when they were getting ready to sign, they were sitting next to each other. They were trying to get away. They didn’t feel good. By the end of an hour, they were hugging each other and congratulating each other. It was beautiful to watch, actually.
The conflict with “Aberbaijan” is the first fake war Albania has been involved in since 1997, when the U.S. government fabricated a war on the small Balkan nation in the film Wag the Dog.
