U.S. President Joe Biden thanked the Prime Minister of Columbia for hosting a summit he never hosted. Instead of being in Columbia, the President was actually in Cambodia at the ASEAN summit ahead of his visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Biden, who appeared to be mumbling and stumbling through a prepared statement inadvertently confused the country hosting the summit.
“Now that we are back together here in Cambodia, I look forward to building even stronger progress than we’ve already made,” Biden told world leaders at ASEAN. “And I want to thank the Prime Minister of Columbia’s leadership and the ASEAN chair.”
Biden routinely appears to go into a brain fog during speeches, often losing track and jumbling his words.
ASEAN 2022 was hosted by Cambodia, not Columbia.
