A photo showing a map of Africa is going viral. The map gets the locations, shapes and sizes of six African nations completely wrong. And this map was presented by US government officials. Officials from the US state department showed this map at the AIDS 2026 Conference held in Brazil this week. The incorrect map was reportedly made using AI, and the Trump administration officials didn't even notice the error before presenting it. Firstpost explains how the mislabelled map has started a debate about the US treatment of African nations, especially under president Donald Trump. Vantage explores how the map is part of a broader trend of disrespect shown to Africa under this administration.
