Joe Biden once again appeared to pronounce Rishi Sunak’s name incorrectly as he announced potentially game-changing news for Kyiv.
“The United States and Europe are fully united. This morning, I had a long conversation with our NATO allies. German Chancellor Scholz, President Macron, Prime Minister Sa-nook and Italian Prime Minister Meloni to continue our close coordination and our support of Ukraine,” Biden said, pronouncing the PM’s name wrong.
This isn’t the first time the President has struggled to name the leader of the United States’ closest ally.
When Rishi Sunak became PM last October, Biden told reporters: “Just today we’ve got news that ‘Rashid Sa-nook’ is now the prime minister.”
Gaffe’s aside, Joe Biden announced America’s commitment to provide Ukraine with 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks, the toughest in America’s arsenal.
The President also lauded Germany’s decision to send Leopard tanks and to allow the reexport of those tanks from other countries who hold them, including Poland and Finland.
