India, Jan. 27 -- The White House became the target of social media mockery after releasing an official statement that contained an apparent mistake. The press statement, which cited President Donald Trump's post on Truth Social regarding sanctions, misidentified the South American country of Colombia as "Columbia," which is the name of the university located in New York.

"ICYMI President Donald J. Trump's TRUTH on Columbia sanctions," the White House statement read.

The statement came after Trump made an unexpected announcement following reports that migrant flights were being directed back. He chose to impose tariffs on Colombia, which were then reciprocated in kind, sparking fears of emerging trade war between the two nations.
