The U.S. State Department displayed an inaccurate map of Africa during a scheduled presentation in Brazil. The map contained immediately noticeable geographic errors. French-language outlets La Presse, Le Monde, and Le Journal de Montréal reported on the incident. Washington officials admitted they were stumped by how the wrong map made it onto the screen. They did not spell out the source of the image or who gave final approval. The presentation was part of a regular diplomatic event. No extra details were immediately available.
