| CORRECTION |
| |
| Last week we misidentified the world
leader who, in his annual address,
praised President Trump and debunked
the investigation into Russian
meddling in our election. It was
Vladimir Putin, not President Trump.
President Trump will deliver that
speech next month. We regret the error. |
