It is unclear if Trump was referring to Gambia in West Africa, Zambia in southern Africa, or perhaps Namibia in southwest Africa. White House transcripts suggest the latter.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this wasn’t the only astounding speech he gave to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, telling representatives that the US would “destroy” North Korea and that one of Iraq’s chief exports is violence.
