“Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin”Biden said, though he quickly corrected himself and said the mistake was due to his being too focused on “beating Putin.”
The scene came as leaders from 24 countries presented a joint statement stressing that Ukraine’s security is “integral” to that of the “Euro-Atlantic region and beyond,” and as the media scrutinize the president’s remarks after his blunders in last month’s presidential debate.
The event was attended by leaders of all NATO member countries and allied leaders at the close of the two-day summit held in Washington.
Signatories of the declaration include: The United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as the leadership of the European Council, the European Commission and the Ukrainian president himself.
Many are calling for Joe Biden to withdraw from the US presidential election.
Biden’s mistake occurs as pressure mounts within his party to withdraw his re-election bid following his disastrous performance in the election debate against Republican rival Donald Trump.
The US president is scheduled to hold a press conference at the end of the summit to demonstrate that he still has full cognitive capacity to govern and seek re-election.
