At the European Political Community summit, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has joked with French President Emmanuel Macron and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Copenhagen about US President Donald Trump's claim of ending a war that never existed.

Details: In September, Trump mistakenly claimed that he had resolved a conflict between Azerbaijan and "Albania" when he actually meant the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.
On 2 October, standing beside Macron and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Rama jokingly demanded that Macron apologise for not congratulating the leaders on resolving the "conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan".
"You should make an apology to us because you didn't congratulate us for the peace deal that President Trump made between Albania and Azerbaijan," Rama told Macron, prompting laughter.
Macron responded in jest that he was sorry about that and playfully patted Rama on the cheek.
Trump has also claimed to have ended a war between Cambodia and Armenia. Ministers from those countries, who have no particular ties, met last week at the UN General Assembly and posted a photo of them shaking hands on social media.
Background: On 8 August, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed an agreement at the White House, in the presence of US President Donald Trump, which included the creation of a transit corridor.
