President Trump announced that the nonexistent country of "Nambia" has an increasingly self-sufficient health-care system during a United Nations lunch with African leaders on Wednesday:

Namibia? Zambia? Well, someone's health system is increasingly self-sufficient.

Ah, Nambia. A beautiful country that borders the equally enchanting Zamunda.

So far, Trump appears to have failed to impress African leaders — a photo of the Zimbabwean delegation listening to Trump's U.N. speech on Tuesday went viral and President Robert Mugabe appeared to sleep through the whole thing.
