The President of US, Joe Bidencommitted a faux pas this Wednesday, the 28th, saying that the Russian President, Wladimir Putin, “losing the war in Iraq”. The faux pas happened while answering a question from a journalist who was questioning the American leader about the Wagner mercenary group. The aim was to get the US President’s opinion on the recent insurgency, which could weaken the group Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022. It was the United States itself that invaded Iraq in 2003. “That is hard to say. But he is clearly losing the war in Iraq. “He’s losing the war in his own country and has become a pariah around the world,” said Biden, referring to the Ukraine war. It was the American leader’s second slide in 24 hours. This Tuesday, the 27th, Biden left India for China as he spoke about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit, which took place a week ago. This time the American President corrected himself. “You’ve probably seen my new best friend the prime minister of a small country that’s now the largest in the world, China I mean, excuse me, India.”
