President Biden on Thursday flubbed the name of one of the major oceans off the coast of Africa during a gaffe-filled press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
“We’re talking about building — and I had my team putting together with other countries as well — to build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean — from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Indian Ocean,” Biden, 80,, clumsily describing a proposal to construct a railway spanning Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Never occurred before. How — we’re — we’re — our Departments of Agriculture are working with these countries,” Biden added. “Well, Mr. President,” Biden started to say before abruptly correcting himself. “Mr. President? I just demoted you.”© Marco BottigelliBiden also appeared to confuse China with Canada when discussing the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative in Africa, nearly attributing the “debt and confiscation program” to America’s northern neighbors.
