Ageing US President Biden Blunders: Zelensky Becomes "Putin" and Trump Mistaken as VP

During his speech, Biden intended to commend Zelensky for his courage and determination. However, he ended up introducing him as the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. The room audibly reacted to the mistake, highlighting the gravity of the gaffe. Biden quickly realized his error, returned to the podium, and attempted to clarify: "He will beat President Putin. President Zelensky. I’m so focused on beating Putin."

Zelensky, unfazed by the error, quipped, "I’m better," to which Biden responded, "You are a hell lot better," trying to recover from the situation.

This slip-up wasn't the only misstep from Biden that day. In a subsequent press conference, he mistakenly referred to former President Donald Trump as his vice president. Such gaffes have raised concerns and sparked discussions about Biden's sharpness and focus.

Despite these blunders, Zelensky remained focused on urging NATO allies for further concessions and support, maintaining his composure and the gravity of Ukraine's ongoing struggle. The incident serves as a reminder of the high stakes and intense pressures involved in international diplomacy.
