Temer's gaffes ridicule Brazil.
"The president who knows how to speak is the one who confused Norway with Sweden, Portugal with Paraguay, and called Russia the Soviet Union? I understand," posted internet user Renata Ventura.

Read below the report about Temer's latest blunder:
247 - Michel Temer committed another gaffe during an international event.
In a speech during an official visit by Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes to Brazil, Temer mistakenly referred to the South American country as "Portugal." Temer and Cartes held a series of meetings on border security, economic relations, Mercosur, and the political crisis in Venezuela.
The gaffe occurred when Temer tried to explain to Cartes the Brazilian constitutional provisions for South American integration.
"Did you know that our Constitution has a special provision that mandates that each and every public policy of the country be geared towards the Latin American integration of nations? When we do this, we do it because of the appreciation we have for the Brazil-Portugal relationship, but also because of a constitutional mandate. People here often don't pay attention to institutional matters," said Temer.
Recently, during a visit to Norway, Temer referred to the country's monarch as the "King of Sweden." His team also referred to Russia as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in the agenda published on the Planalto website. Temer also called Russian businessmen "Soviets" when he was there.
