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 all picked up the story. Washington officials said they were confused about 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 standard diplomatic gathering. No extra details were immediately available.
