Split border towns can be confusing and you can't expect political leaders to follow every sporting team BUT that is what briefing papers are for.
I recall that Hurricane heading to Alabama and the border wall in Colorado. Further afield Belgium is a beautiful city, and there is that fictitious African country called "Nambia".
I know that many US entertainers get similarly confused and that Pompeo couldn't point to Ukraine on a map the other day BUT most senior politicians will be handed a "brief" for every key event they attend. The elephant in the room is that Trump doesn't read his briefing notes or check correct pronunciation of names prior to meetings.
