President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference with Norwegian Prime Minster Erna Solberg in the East Room of the White House, Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2018, in Washington.
President Donald Trump said the US had sold Norway F-52 fighter jets during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Erna Solberg on Wednesday.
But no such aircraft exists. The president may have misspoke because the US has sold Norway 52 F-35s.
Oslo received the first three last November.
Trump is getting roasted on Twitter for his gaffe:
Some commenters are jokingly asking if Trump plays "Call of Duty," which features an aircraft called an F-52:
F-52s? Oh boy. Bet the Marines are gonna want a STOVL version.
