Donald Trump was corrected by the German Chancellor after committing an embarrassing gaffe on the eve of the D-Day anniversary. Friedrich Merz was meeting with the US President at the White House to discuss the Russia-Ukraine war and trade.
However, things turned south in the Oval Office when when the German Chancellor reminded Trump that tomorrow, June 6, is the D-Day anniversary. To which Trump replied: “Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day.”

Forced to correct him after the blunder, Merz replied: “This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship.”
