While giving a speech at the Annual National Governor’s Association, President Joe Biden mixed up the name of China’s leader with Russia’s. This slipped as Biden was recalling an anecdote from his time as VP for Barack Obama.
Known Public Blunders Of President Joe Biden
Reported by GBN, earlier this month President Biden has confused Emmanuel Macron, the current French president, with François Mitterrand, who also led France before. Days later, he also mixed-up Angela Merkel with late German leader Helmut Kohl. Also, this February, he accidentally referred to Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as the “President of Mexico”.
The latest in this series happened while President Biden was giving his speech at the Annual National Governor’s Association. He was recalling Obama’s warning to him before saying, “He wanted me to get to know Xi Jinping.” “It was clear he was going to be the head of Russia… uuuh China… and we were having problems with Russia at the time and other countries as well.”
