The American government presented a skewed map of Europe during Antony Blinken and Emmanuel Macron’s meeting.
Globally, Americans’ geography skills will remain inadequate. The American Department of Foreign Affairs mistook Switzerland with Sweden in a video uploaded on its X account Tuesday, April 2, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in Paris.
Short clip released before 6 p.m. on social networks. The first second shows a map of Europe with a glaring mistake: Switzerland has been renamed Sweden.
However, the video displays the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Arc de Triomphe in the French capital. Secretary Blinken is meeting with Macron and other leaders in Paris. We must work together to resolve global concerns like helping Ukraine against Russian aggression and restoring peace and stability to Haiti. video.

Internet users remembered the geographical inaccuracy over the American diplomatic statement. American law expert Sébastien Natroll responded to the article with a screenshot of Europe’s map with “Sweden” circled in red: “Are you sure? »
“I didn’t know you could get to Sweden from Italy”, “Switzerland is the word you are looking for”, are they entering NATO as Sweden? “, “Sweden is not part of Northern Italy” were mocked on Z.
The US State Department did not respond to the incident. Antony Blinken was scheduled to meet the French president “at the end of the day” to discuss Ukraine, Haiti, the Gaza war, and the July NATO summit in Washington.
FOREIGN MINISTER SÉJOURNÉ: (Via interpreter) Good afternoon, everyone. Dear Antony, it’s a pleasure to welcome you to Paris. As you know, France is deeply attached to NATO, which unites it to the United States of America. We’re celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The US knows what it owes France, but I can tell you that France knows what it owes the US in its history. On June 8, we will celebrate the friendship between the US and France. This spirit of freedom drives us and led us to support Ukraine together.
For two years, Russia has waged an unjustifiable aggression against a free and sovereign country. Not content with oppressing his own people, Vladimir Putin is trying to subjugate the Ukrainian people. However, two obstacles have prevented him from doing so and are making his war a failure for Russia: first, the bravery of the Ukrainians.
At NATO’s ministerial meeting tomorrow in Brussels, we will again intensify our support for Kyiv and send a clear signal of our determination. The conference in Paris on February 26 was a clear step in that direction, and we’re concretely implementing the decisions made within a number of coalitions that covered Ukraine’s needs.
Russia finances interferences, promotes false media, and accuses Ukraine and Europe of crimes committed by others, recently Daesh. It is a crude way of concealing the fact that Russia has chosen the wrong enemy by ignoring Islamic terrorism on its territory.
Europe will fight this propaganda. France will soon propose a regime of sanctions for those who support Russian disinformation companies that destabilize our country and the continent. The 27 member states will support and implement it.
Dear Antony, we discussed the Middle East, and please allow me, first and foremost, to condemn the Israeli strike that killed seven humanitarian personnel of the NGO World Central Kitchen. The protection – the situation – humanitarian situation is disastrous and worsening day by day, and nothing justifies such a tragedy.
I presented the French Security Council initiatives to the secretary-general secretary. We need a two-state solution based on just and sustainable peace between Israel and Palestine, based on security guarantees on both sides. Discussions were constructive. Over the next few weeks, I will continue to work and advocate for this with all regional stakeholders and the permanent member.
I’m thinking of Lebanon, where France’s ideas were well received by our Lebanese allies. I’ll keep talking to all interested parties, and we’ll avoid regional escalation.
We also discussed the Sudanese war, one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. On April 15, France, Germany, and the EU will host a large humanitarian conference in Paris to address this major crisis, which the media and political leaders are ignoring. I know I can count on you and the US, Antony, to promote and ensure this conference’s success.
Finally, we discussed Armenia’s territorial integrity, which Azerbaijan is challenging today. Let me tell you how worried we are because Azerbaijan’s rhetoric is getting out of hand, and we see an increasing number of fake news from Baku, and they blame Armenia for an escalation, even though Armenia is probably the only one willing and trying to avoid it.
Dear Secretary of State, this is a short introduction. I’m looking forward to further discussing these matters in Brussels and in the coming weeks. There is so much we still need to do to spread the founding values of both our countries around the world. Thank you for these discussions.
SECRETARY BLINKEN: (Via interpreter) I am thrilled, as ever, to be in Paris. Stéphane, thank you for this warm welcome and for this important and constructive conversation. If I may continue in English for my colleagues.
As I mentioned, it’s great to be back in Paris, but I wanted to thank my colleague and friend, Stéphane, for the warm welcome and the quality of our conversation. He covered most of what we discussed, so let me just add a few highlights.
We discussed the need to continue supporting Ukraine so it can effectively defend itself against Russian aggression. That’s for today. We also want to help Ukraine build a strong military for the future, attract private sector investment to grow its economy, and strengthen its democracy, especially by moving down the EU accession path.
France has been a remarkable leader in this effort, both in ensuring Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself and in setting it up for the long term. It has shared billions in military and economic aid to Ukraine and rallied other countries, using its leadership to bring others along. In addition, it has enforced sanctions and export controls to limit Putin’s war machine.
This threatens Ukraine and European security as a whole, so France and all European countries want to do everything we can to stop Russia’s war machine from strengthening. Part of our shared challenge is building up and energizing our defense industrial base.
That’s one reason why Congress must pass President Biden’s supplemental budget request as soon as possible, especially when it returns from recess, to boost our defense industrial base and create more good jobs.
As Stéphane said, we also talked about the Middle East. We’ve been grateful for France’s partnership on the crisis and working together to prevent the conflict in Gaza from spreading to other parts of the region. We agree on the need to reach a ceasefire quickly to release hostages and increase and sustain humanitarian aid.
As mentioned, we’re coordinating closely to prevent the conflict in Lebanon from spreading and find a diplomatic solution. We’re also working together to create a more durable and lasting peace with security and political guarantees for Israelis and Palestinians.
I want to repeat what Stéphane said about the attack on World Food Kitchen members—World Central Kitchen, excuse me—and offer our condolences to the loved ones, families, friends, and colleagues of those who died and those who were injured. I spoke to José Andrés about a week ago about World Central Kitchen’s efforts in Gaza and other conflict zones.
Yesterday’s strike victims join a record number of humanitarian workers killed in this conflict. These people are heroes. They run into the fire, not away from it. They show the best of humanity when the going gets tough. They must be protected.
We’ve spoken directly to the Israeli government about this incident and urged a swift, thorough, impartial investigation to understand what happened. As we have throughout this conflict, we’ve emphasized the essential need to do more to protect innocent civilian lives, whether Palestinian children, women, and men or aid workers, and to get more humanitarian aid to more people, more effectively.
We touched on several other subjects, as Stéphane said, and I think what we find is an unprecedented convergence between France and the U.S. on our greatest concerns.
We’re proud partners in the Paris climate summit, including joint efforts to advance civil nuclear energy as a greener alternative.
Finally, we are grateful to President Macron for his longstanding leadership on some of the most pressing issues of the day, such as cyberspace issues, uniting governments, the private sector, and civil society around rules of the road that reflect our shared values and interests.
It is fitting that we are celebrating two landmark anniversaries this year: the 80th anniversary of the liberation that Stéphane alluded to and the 75th anniversary of NATO, the Alliance – the defensive alliance – that joins us. The 80th anniversary of the liberation is a good reminder of why we decided a few years after World War II to come together in that defensive alliance so that something like World
