President Donald Trump has promised to eradicate Swedish terrorist group Al-Ikea after mishearing an intelligence briefing earlier this morning.

‘We first became aware of this Al-Ikea group when monitoring coded transmissions and picking up traffic on Facebook and Twitter,’ we were told by President Trump in an exclusive interview earlier today.

‘They’re all over Sweden and we have evidence they may have already infiltrated several sites within America. These are bad dudes. They know how to make all the weapons themselves,’ he told us.

The president went on to state that he believes Al-Ikea is targeting troubled youths with the promise of steady work in a stable environment.

Once again, White House staff have been left exasperated after the latest example of the president’s inability to properly listen.

As one aide told us: ‘Al Qaeda doesn’t even sound like Ikea – not that much, anyway – and they don’t exactly behave like a terrorist cell. I mean, what does Trump think they’re planning? Does he think that “Al-Ikea” can destroy Western society by trapping people into wasting their lives wandering around interminable mazes and then spending all their spare time trying to assemble inscrutable flat-pack furniture…?’

The aide stared into the middle-distance for a moment and then sat bolt upright. ‘The bastards!’ he exclaimed, before ushering us swiftly out of his office as he reached for a large red telephone on his desk.
