During the session, Mr. Trump confused two female reporters thinking they were the same person. After the POTUS persistently asked the Finnish president to take one more question, Niinistö gestured to a journalist.
"Again? You're gonna give her — the same one?" asked Trump, mistaking the woman for another reporter who had asked a question earlier. "No, she is not the same lady," Niinistö replied. "They are sitting side by side." The reporter's response made the conference visitors burst in laughter. "We have a lot of blond women in Finland," she noted.
A PBS NewsHour correspondent, who was at the press conference, posted a photo of the Finnish correspondents on her Twitter, adding that they do not look alike. Check it out:
THIS. The Finnish journalists @potus had trouble telling apart. They are def. 2 diff. people. So glad I met @maria_annala + @vilenpaula. pic.twitter.com/gthZWwiiJa
