Biden's Blunder: Calls Egyptian President 'President of Mexico'

During a recent press conference at the White House, US President Joe Biden committed a significant gaffe by mistakenly referring to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as "the president of Mexico," sparking confusion and amusement among observers.

The incident occurred as Biden responded to a question about humanitarian aid to Gaza, erroneously attributing the decision-making authority to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador instead of President el-Sisi of Egypt.

Biden's blunder comes amidst scrutiny over his memory lapses, highlighted in a report by Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Hur. The report revealed Biden's retention and disclosure of classified materials related to military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, raising questions about his cognitive abilities and fitness for office.

Responding to inquiries about his memory during the press conference, Biden dismissed concerns, asserting confidence in his cognitive faculties and pointing to his accomplishments as evidence of his capability to lead.

However, Biden's confusion extends beyond geopolitical figures, as evidenced by another recent incident where he mistakenly referenced French President Emmanuel Macron as France's former President Francois Mitterrand. The mix-up occurred during a campaign event in Las Vegas, underscoring ongoing concerns about Biden's cognitive acuity.
