The White House has deleted a post on President Biden’s account that appeared to confuse the head of Vietnam’s National Assembly with the country’s president.
On Monday, Biden’s official White House account on X, formerly known as Twitter, thanked Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong following his visit to the Asian country.
“President Vo Van Thuong, thank you for such a productive meeting,” Biden’s tweet said.

PRESIDENT BIDEN ENDES VIETNAM PRESS RELEASE IN FULL WAY: ‘I’M GOING TO BED’
“This partnership is about unlocking the potential of our peoples and with it a range of incredible opportunities,” the President continued.
However, the photo Biden posted of him shaking hands with the Vietnamese “president” did not show the Asian country’s president.

Rather, the photo showed Biden shaking hands with the Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly, Vuong Dinh Hue.
Biden’s post has since been deleted, but not before some users online called him out for the misnomer.

The president traveled to Vietnam last weekend and met with the country’s leaders.
Biden ended a Vietnam news conference on Sunday by telling reporters he needed to go to bed after the 2023 G20 summit concluded.
Biden spoke in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi after two days at the G20 summit in New Delhi, India. He answered a question about China’s relations with the United States before announcing that he was sleepy.

“But I’ll tell you what, I don’t know about you, but I’m going to bed,” Biden told a group of reporters.
After his statement, a reporter called out a question about Biden’s meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang. Biden met Li over the weekend during the G20 summit.
