The U.S. State Department ended up using an inaccurate map of Africa while holding a session 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 admitted they were stumped by how the wrong map made it onto the screen. They offered no details on the source of the image or who cleared it. The presentation was part of a standard diplomatic gathering. No extra details were released right away.
