The president wrongly claimed the Mexican border town of Tijuana was in 'South America.'
Not only is Tijuana not located in South America, but in North America, along with the U.S., but it also does not have the highest coronavirus rates out of all the cities in either continent.
Overall, the U.S. currently has the highest number of confirmed cases of coronavirus in the world, while Brazil, which actually is in South America, has the second highest.It should be noted that Mexico has faced scrutiny over its lack of widespread coronavirus testing and, in the past, Trump has raised questions around whether it is fair to compare the U.S. to other countries, where testing is not as widely available.
While there is no reason to believe San Diego's coronavirus rates are being predominantly affected by Tijuana, it is far from accurate to suggest that the city is not being affected by coronavirus.
