US President Joe Biden confused Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. Biden was speaking at a meeting of the National Governors Association.
Biden described how former President Barack Obama asked him to improve relations with the Chinese leader. Biden had already said twice in one week that he “talked” with the late politicians Helmut Kohl and Francois Mitterrand. The president was “furious” because of the report of special counsel Robert Heur, in which the head of the White House was called an elderly man with poor memory.
