Biden Introduces Zelensky As “President Putin”, Mistakenly Referring To Him As Russian President
President Joe Biden of the United States, US, has erroneously referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin”.
Biden made the gaffe on Thursday in Washington DC during the NATO summit.
Biden introduced Zelensky as “President Putin”, mistakenly referring to him as Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is waging a war against Ukraine that began in 2022.
But the US President quickly corrected himself, while Zelensky replied to Biden’s gaffe in a joking manner, saying, “I’m better than Putin”.
“You are a hell of a lot better,” Biden replied Zelensky after correcting himself.
He blamed his mistake on being “so focused on beating Putin”.
This is coming after Biden was asked to withdraw from the US presidential race as concerns mount regarding his mental acuity and chances of defeating former President Donald Trump.
Similarly, Biden had mistakenly called Trump Vice President while referring to Kamala Harris.
