"It is unclear if Trump was referring to Namibia or Zambia. There is no country called Nambia."
During a luncheon at the United Nations on Wednesday, President Donald Trump reportedly told African leaders that he has “so many friends going to your countries trying to get rich.”
“Africa has tremendous business potential,” the president said.
He later referred to the non-existent country of “Nambia” when discussing health crises on the continent. It is unclear if Trump was referring to Namibia or Zambia. There is no country called Nambia.
