WASHINGTON - In a new verbal slip-up, US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “losing the war in Iraq” when he meant to say Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters briefly before departing the White House on a trip to Chicago, Mr Biden was asked if Mr Putin had been weakened by“It’s hard to tell really. But he’s clearly losing the war in Iraq. He’s losing the war at home and he has become a bit of a pariah around the world. And it’s not just Nato, it’s not just the European Union. It’s Japan, it’s 40 nations,” he said.
It was the second slip-up in 24 hours. On Tuesday night, Mr Biden corrected himself at a campaign fund-raising event - referring to China when he meant India, whose prime minister, Mr Narendra Modi,“You probably saw my new best friend - the prime minister of a little country that’s now the largest in the world, China - I mean, excuse me, India. India is not looking for a permanent alliance, but they’re looking for some hedge against - in the region,” he said.
