Trump Praises Brazil's Election Count, but Names India Instead
Listen to the story
Donald Trump is the president of the United States. He talked about the election in Brazil. He said the vote count was very fast. But he made a mistake. He said "India" instead of "Brazil."
Brazil had an election this week. People voted for new leaders. After voting, workers count all the votes. This is called the count. Trump said the count in Brazil was quick.
But Trump used the wrong country name. He said India had a fast count. He meant Brazil, not India. This kind of mistake is called a mix-up.
Other world leaders also talked about the Brazil election. Argentina's leader Javier Milei spoke about it. Israel's leader Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke about it. Many leaders around the world are watching Brazil's election result.
