The GXNUMX summit held in India witnessed yet another failure by US President Joe Biden. The American leader found himself in a difficult situation, unable to correctly pronounce the name of the Saudi prince and even lost very important details of his speech.

The incident occurred at one of the protocol events of the G20 summit in India. Joe Biden took the floor and began his address. He first thanked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his hospitality and warm welcome, but then problems began. Even though he had notes on the paper, he could not pronounce the name of the Saudi prince correctly:

“And I want to express my gratitude to Prime Minister Modi and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salam... Sorry, Mohammed bin Salman, President Von der Leyen and the European Commission,” Biden said, apparently trying to cope with the awkward situation.

However, this is where the problems were just beginning. Biden even seemed to have lost track of whether the Saudi prince was present at the summit:

“And since he [the prince] did not speak today... Or did he speak? I did not notice whether he spoke or not. Let’s finish with this,” the American president concluded.

His words caused misunderstanding among those present and the Saudi prince attempted to calm the tense situation by taking a bottle of water and taking a sip during this awkward speech.

George Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, became too embarrassed at such a moment and simply covered her face with her hands while listening to the speech of the American leader. The incident was a prime example of the awkward moments Joe Biden faces on the world stage.

The tasks and embarrassments of the president.

At the G20 summit, Joe Biden faces many important challenges and challenges, and his awkward behavior only makes the situation worse. In addition to trying to cope with foreign policy and relations between countries, Biden also faces domestic problems and criticism from the opposition in the United States.

These events underscore that the role of leader of a world power requires not only political wisdom, but also presence of mind and self-confidence. Embarrassments and missteps can cause a decline in credibility and trust, which can affect international relations and the US position on the global stage.

The incident at the G20 summit in India was yet another example of Joe Biden's awkwardness on the world stage. His failure to correctly pronounce the Saudi prince's name and then his incorrect remark regarding his participation at the summit underscored the American leader's uncertainty and incompetence.
