It’s less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.
It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.

This definition is not fully correct. A nation does not need to have a government. For example the Kurds
