White House mocks Trump's foreign policy speech

The White House teased GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who stumbled over the pronunciation of the African country Tanzania in a foreign policy speech Wednesday.

“No, I didn’t start, either,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters as he walked into the briefing room, responding to a reporter who noted that he didn't finish watching Trump’s remarks. “I’ll catch the highlights later on tonight.”


But another reporter informed Earnest of Trump’s pronunciation of Tanzania as he approached his lectern to kick off the briefing.

“Apparently the phonetics are not included on the teleprompter,” Earnest said as the journalists in the room erupted into laughter. “All right, on to more serious topics.”
