The series of blunders continues for the President of the United States. Accustomed to slip-ups, Joe Biden confused Cambodia, where he was traveling, and Colombia this Saturday, although both countries are more than 18,000 kilometers away, during a speech at the Southeast Asia (ASEAN) summit in Phnom Penh.
“I would like to thank the Prime Minister for Colombia’s leadership in the ASEAN chairmanship,” said the US president, joined by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Colombia, a South American country, seems to be on the mind of the US president, who made the same mistake when he left the White House for his long trip to Asia. He told reporters that he “was headed to Colombia” (“Colombia” in English editor’s note), before quickly correcting himself and saying “I mean, Cambodia” (“Cambodia”).
a series of mistakes
Joe Biden, who turns 80 this month, has been known for his many blunders since the start of his career in Washington.
His last one, easily debatable from a geographical point of view, was nevertheless less embarrassing than that of his vice president last September in South Korea.
Kamala Harris, during a visit to the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea, said the United States had “an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. And it is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”
