'You upgraded me to president': Mic catches Carney correcting Trump
What's the story
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was caught on a hot mic correcting United States President Donald Trump at a Middle East summit on Monday. After Trump mistakenly called Carney "president" instead of "prime minister," Carney jokingly responded, "Well, I'm glad you upgraded me to president." The incident occurred after Trump's speech at the summit when he was shaking hands with world leaders. Realizing his error, he gave Carney a friendly swat before saying, "At least I didn't say governor."

Leader praises
Trump praises Macron, Orban, Meloni during summit speech
Trump's speech followed the signing of the Gaza ceasefire deal and stretched for nearly half an hour. During his speech, Trump also praised other world leaders. He thanked France's President Emmanuel Macron and Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Of Orban, he said, "Oh Viktor, where is Viktor? We love Viktor. Veektor, I call him, put the little accent on it," Trump said. "You are fantastic. I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters. You are fantastic."

Trump calls Meloni 'beautiful young woman'
He also praised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as a "beautiful young woman," saying using the word "beautiful" about a woman in the United States could end your political career. "Italy. We have a woman, a young woman who's - I'm not allowed to say it because usually it's the end of your political career if you say it...but I'll take my chances."
Prize disappointment
Trump expresses disappointment over not winning Nobel Peace Prize
When it came to Norway, Trump still appeared upset that he had not won the Nobel Peace Prize. He looked around the room while talking about Norway and asked, "We have Norway. Oh Norway. Ayayay. Norway. What happened, Norway? What happened? What happened, Norway?" Another hot-mic moment also captured Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto approaching Trump. Their exchange was mostly inaudible except for the name "Eric," likely referring to Trump's son who now runs The Trump Organization.
