The US ambassador to Iceland made an inappropriate comment about Iceland being the 52nd state and was summoned by Icelandic President to explain. A poor joke, apparently.
One almost wonders if the US admin is actively trying to get one of its ambassadors declared persona non grata.
It would seem like that, but that's bonus. It's really about the spoils of crony oligarchy.
Is 52 a typo or did he really say that? The US has 50 states, so why not 51?
