Biden mistakenly thanked Colombia instead of Cambodia for hosting the ASEAN summit

“I want to thank the Prime Minister for the Colombian chairmanship of ASEAN and for receiving us all,” Biden said, quoted by RIA Novosti.

During his address to the summit, the US President stated the need to defend against "significant threats to the rules-based order."

After that, he corrected himself, specifying that we are talking about threats to such an order.

Earlier, Biden, during a speech in the United States, confused Kherson with the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Speaking in Florida, he also confused Ukraine and Iraq.

The American leader also confused the number of US states, saying "54 states" instead of 50.

The Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle said that the change in Biden's fortunes over the past ten years is very noticeable, his behavior in public casts doubt on the possibility of re-election.

American businessman Elon Musk also expressed the opinion that the current president is too old for a second presidential term.
