MOSCOW (Sputnik) - This is not the first time the US president has misspoken in a public speech. During his speeches, he has confused Finland with Norway, China with Russia, Ukraine with Afghanistan, and a host of other gaffes.
US President Joe Biden called North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "South Korean President."
The US leader was speaking about former US President Donald Trump at a campaign reception in Portola Valley, California.
"We’ll never forget his love letters for the South Korean President Kim Jong Un or his admiration for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin — what a great leader Putin is," Biden said about Trump, according to a White House transcript of his remarks at the reception.
