Biden described how former President Barack Obama asked him to improve relations with the Chinese leader.
“I spent a lot of time with Xi Jinping.
This is someone with whom I have a lot of disagreements.
When I was vice president, my president told me that he would like me to meet Xi Jinping.
Because it was clear that he would lead Russia,” said the head of the White House, after which he immediately corrected the mistake.
A video of his performance is provided by Sky News Australia.
On February 8, the Axios portal reported that Joe Biden had already said twice in one week that he “talked” with the late politicians Helmut Kohl and Francois Mitterrand.
As The Wall Street Journal wrote, 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.
