President JoeBiden's speech went south after he mispronounced the name of South Korea's president.
Biden, 79, referred to South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol as"Moon," an apparent reference to former South Korean President Moon Jae-in, before quickly correcting himself."Thank you all very much. And President Moon — Yoon, thank you for everything you've done so far," Biden said at the end of his remarks.
Yoon, standing next to Biden, did not visibly react to the error. The U.S. president had twice called Yoon by his correct name earlier in the speech.https://t.co/3TKrQWaL3Z pic.twitter.com/UbUQ53jJzDCLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER Biden's slip-up in South Korea marks the latest error he has made in addressing political figures since taking office. He used two different pronunciations of Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson’s last name during Rose Garden remarks about Sweden and Finland’s applications to join NATO on Thursday. In August 2021, he referred to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as"Jennifer," possibly confusing her with Jennifer Granholm, Michigan's first female governor.
Biden is not the only president to make stunning errors. Former President George W. Bush, 75, accidentally accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of making"a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq" before quickly saying he meant Ukraine during remarks Wednesday night. Bush shrugged off the mistake and laughed while the audience joined in.
