Reference News Network, October 20 report: According to EFE News Agency, on October 19, US President Trump misspelled the English name of Colombia as "Columbia" four times when posting on a social media platform, and referred to Colombian President Petro as the "Columbia" president.
This post announced that it would terminate economic aid to Colombia due to its "inaction" in drug control, and accused Colombian President Petro of fostering drug production.
The report mentioned that about an hour after the post was published, Trump released a corrected version, correctly spelling "Colombia".
The report noted that this is the second time this year that the White House has made such a spelling error, following a previous mistake by the Trump administration in January when the country's name was misspelled in a statement. Some English speakers are more familiar with the word "Columbia", as there are many cities and institutions in the United States named after it (such as the District of Columbia, Columbia University, etc.).
