St0rmFury 11/13/18 2:21:25 AM #1:	TRUMP CONFUSED THE BALTICS WITH BALKANSAND ACCUSED CONFUSED LEADERS OF STARTING YUGOSLAV WARS President Donald Trump confused the Baltic states in Europe with the Balkansand chastised leaders of the former for starting wars in the 1990s that lead to the break-up of Yugoslavia, French daily Le Monde reported. Trump reportedly made the mistake in a White House meeting with Dalia Grybauskait of Lithuania, Kersti Kaljulaid of Estonia and Raimonds Vjonis of Latvia in April. The leaders were reportedly confused by the presidents accusation, and it took them a minute to realize he had confused the Balkans and the Baltics. The Baltic states lie in northern Europe, on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. Around 1,000 miles away sits the Balkan region in south-eastern Europe. It comprises states including Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. Much of the region was incorporated into the state of Yugoslavia, which became a socialist state after German occupying forces were ousted following World War II. In the 1990s Yugoslavia disintegrated and the region was torn apart in a series of civil wars, culminating with the Kosovo war of 1998-1999. Trumps mistake is perhaps more surprising given that his wife, Melania, was born in Slovenia, a state that was part of Yugoslavia until 1991. Trump, according to the Le Monde report, remained apparently uneducated in the matter by his wife, Melania, originally from the former Yugoslavia. The report comes with new tensions emerging this weekend between Trump and the U.S.'s traditional European allies. The president is in Europe this weekend for events marking the centenary of the end of the First World War. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-confused-baltics-balkans-and-accused-confused-leaders-starting-yugoslav-1210939 Oops. --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.
