U.S. President Donald Trump said that a U.S. aircraft carrier had been attacked by ¡°the Islamic Republic of Japan,¡± apparently intending to say the Islamic Republic of Iran,?while speaking about U.S. actions against Iran during a meeting in Ankara.

At a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday, Trump also mistakenly referred to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as the ¡°JCPOC¡± while criticizing the 2015 agreement on Iran¡¯s nuclear program reached between Iran and the administration of then U.S. President Barack Obama, along with European countries and other parties.
