The best part of the G20 summit this year? Trump's many gaffes.
Trump has probably learned the hard way that not all Asians look alike, after he mixed up Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

You know what they say -- second time's a charm.
But if you thought that was bad, be prepared for some major cringe.
A press release issued by the White House referred to Chinese President Xi Jinping as the President of the Republic of China.

The Republic of China in fact refers to Taiwan, whereas China is known officially as the People's Republic of China.
This seemingly minor difference, however, is a huge snub to Chinese citizens, who view Taiwan as a renegade, breakaway province.

And to end things off, here's the White House with yet another mistake.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe got a title change, after he was referred to as President Abe of Japan in yet another of the White House press releases.
