During a NATO summit appearance in Turkey on Wednesday, Donald Trump stood alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and made several notable verbal missteps in under ten minutes. The former president mistakenly referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan," flubbed the acronym for the Iran nuclear deal, and then asked assembled reporters if they had a question for Russian President Vladimir Putin—apparently losing track of whom he was addressing. These errors add to a growing list of public mix-ups by Trump, including confusing aides and world leaders. The incident matters because it highlights recurring gaffes from a prominent political figure on the international stage.
