The G-20 summit in Germany concluded yesterday (July 8) and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong came away from the event with his first ever meeting with US President Donald Trump.

The photo of PM Lee's meeting with Trump was initially captioned "President Trump and the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo speaking before the start if the bilateral at the #G20Summit in # Hamburg, #Germany. # USA".
The error was later corrected, with a new post of Trump and PM Lee:

Bloomberg reported that the error had appeared in a White House transcript of Trump’s remarks the meeting with Xi in Hamburg, Germany.
'Murica.
