- Days ago, the US president also confused the war in Ukraine with the war in Iraq.

Joe Biden has a slip again and confuses Cambodia with Colombia

Joe Biden has a slip again and confuses Cambodia with Colombia

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has once again starred in a new mistake this Saturday, this time, by confusing two countries: Cambodia and Colombia.

This lapse has taken place precisely in Cambodia, the Asian country that is currently hosting the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and where the US president has traveled this Saturday after passing through the climate summit in Egypt.

The confusion occurred when Biden addressed the head of government of that Asian country as "the prime minister of Colombia" when praising his leadership.

This Saturday's mistake is the latest in an increasingly frequent list of mistakes by the US president, who will turn 80 on November 20.

Without going any further, earlier this month, Biden made a mistake during a speech related to inflation: "Inflation is a world problem right now because of the war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia is doing", he indicated, when in fact he was referring to the war in Ukraine.

Unlike this Saturday, where there has been no rectification, Biden realized his slip and corrected himself immediately, but he did so by making another even more serious mistake by assuring that the confusion was the result of thinking about his son who died in Iraq. "Sorry, I'm thinking of Iraq because that's where my son died," he said.

In reality, his son Beau Biden did not die in Iraq, but died of a brain tumor in 2015, in a hospital in Maryland (USA), at the age of 46.
