President Biden mistakenly praised “China” when he meant to say Canada in a Friday speech in Ottawa — making the gaffe moments after he conspicuously failed to mention China’s role in fentanyl smuggling.
“Today, I applaud China for stepping up,” the 80-year-old president said in a speech to Canada’s parliament. “Excuse me, I applaud Canada.”
Biden quickly added, “You can tell what I’m thinking about China. I won’t get into that yet.”
At a press conference later in the day, Biden nearly made a similar gaffe by saying Japan when he was discussing China’s relationship with Russia, but caught himself mid-word at “Japa…”
Biden mixed up Canada and China as he praised the northern neighbor for agreeing to accept 15,000 more migrants per year from Latin American countries — in exchange for the US consenting to Canadian efforts to deport those caught sneaking illegally into Canada.
Just moments before the slipup, Biden did not mention China at all while discussing fentanyl, which is driving a surge in US overdose deaths.
Biden = China SPY
