United States President Joe Biden confused his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron with France's long-dead former leader Francois Mitterrand. While speaking at a campaign event in Las Vegas on Sunday, the 81-year-old leader described Macron's reaction to a speech at a G-7 meeting in 2020. The video footage of the speech went viral on Monday.
Besides getting Macron's name wrong, he also misstated his country. "And Mitterrand—Macron, from Germany—I mean, from France looked at me and said, said 'You know, what — why — how long you back for?" Biden said, according to a White House transcript.
