A background picture of the American flag that went up alongside the European Union flag as Pence and EU leader Donald Tusk spoke on Monday had 51 stars instead of the usual 50, one for each state.
The Brussels version of the flag had three rows of nine stars and three rows with eight stars each. American flags typically feature a total of nine alternating rows of five or six stars
The EU flag featuring 12 stars in a circle against a blue background was configured correctly. And the American flag had the right number of stripes — 13.
The EU Council did not immediately respond when asked about the error with the misplaced star-state.
The extra star is a well-deserved star for our new President: President Donald J Trump !!! דמד
That is okay we had an American president who thought we had 57 States and he was an American president. Maybe Brussels was counting Puerto Rico as a state?
