Donald Trump is not famed for his geographical knowledge. From using footage from the Moroccan border in a TV advert promoting the wall he plans to build on the Mexican border to most recently calling Belgium a city, geography is not the presumptive presidential Republican nominee’s strongest suit.

As such, Hillary Clinton has jumped on his latest geographical blunder after Mr Trump declared: “Belgium is a beautiful city”, during a rally in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday.

Ms Clinton has responded by sharing a video on Twitter titled, “A message from your possible next president on: geography”. The caption reads, "Belgium: Donald Trump's favourite 'city.'"

This isn’t the first time Mr Trump has made his views about the country of Belgium known. Rather than calling Belgium a "beautiful city", in January he instead said Brussels had become a “hellhole”.

“You go to Brussels - I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful - it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” he said in a TV interview with FOX Business Network.

Representatives for Mr Trump and Ms Clinton did not immediately respond to request for comment.
