The U.S. State Department ended up using an inaccurate map of Africa during a scheduled presentation in Brazil. The map contained glaringly obvious 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 appeared. They offered no details on the source of the image or who gave final approval. The presentation was part of a regular diplomatic event. No extra details were immediately available.
