Watch: Trump speaks in Georgia after campaign confuses state with country

Watch as Donald Trump campaigned in Savannah, Georgia , on Tuesday, 24 September.

The former president spoke at a civic theatre where he touted his plans for tax reform, which include $8 trillion in proposed cuts over 10 years.

Mr Trump has also outlined why he believes foreign companies should move their manufacturing operations to the US and how the US will take other nations’ jobs and factories and bring them to America under his leadership, according to comments from a senior campaign adviser cited by CNN.

It came after the Trump campaign posted a social media advertisement containing a stock photo of the eastern European country of the same name as the US state.

"ATTENTION GEORGIA: I'm humbly asking you to stop what you're doing and check your voter registration status. Only a handful of votes will decide this election," the advertisement said.

The accompanying photo was taken by Andrew Mayovskyy in Upper Svanetia, according to its Shutterstock listing.
