President Trump shamed ABC News' White House correspondent Jonathan Karl after his network mistakenly aired footage they claimed was from the Syria-Turkey border.

ABC News aired footage they claimed depicted the frontline battle between Syrian Kurds and the invading Turks. However, the clip actually was from a machine gun demonstration at the Knob Creek Gun Range in West Point, Kentucky.

Trump brought up the network's error after he was asked by Karl if he regretted giving Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan "a green light to invade Syria," during a Wednesday afternoon press conference with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.

"I didn’t give him a green light," Trump responded. "When you make a statement like that, it’s so deceptive. Just the opposite of a green light. First of all, we had virtually no soldiers there. They were mostly gone, just a tiny little group. They would have been in harms way. You have a massive army on the other side of the border. But, more importantly, I didn’t give them a green light."

The president went on, "When you ask a question like that, it’s very deceptive, John. It’s almost as deceptive as you showing all of the bombings taking place in Syria and it turned out that the bombing that you showed on television took place in Kentucky. I’m not even sure that ABC apologized for that, but certainly it was a terrible thing. I'm looking at this, I say wow that's pretty bad, and it was in Kentucky, it wasn’t in Syria."

Trump then said he thought ABC News should apologize. Karl responded by continuing to pursue his line of questioning about the president's decision to withdraw troops from northern Syria.

"We’ve taken down video that aired on World News Tonight Sunday and Good Morning America this morning that appeared to be from the Syrian border immediately after questions were raised about its accuracy," a network representative previously told the Washington Examiner. "ABC News regrets the error."
