Biden's double slip in public: he confuses Ukraine with Iraq and then says his son died there

The president of the United States has made a couple of mistakes again during a speech this Tuesday in Florida. Biden, which is not the first time that he has had the occasional lapse or that he has become disoriented during one of his speeches, has confused the war in Ukraine with that in Iraq.

"Inflation is a world problem right now because of the war in Iraq and the impact on oil and what Russia is doing," he said. To which at the moment he has reacted with another "error", this time about his deceased son: "Excuse me, I'm thinking of Iraq because that's where my son died."

The son of the current president of the United States, Beau Biden, died in 2015 at the age of 46, after brain cancer. Although it is true that he was a veteran of the Iraq war, he did not die in battle or as a result of it. He died in Maryland, USA..

A little over a month ago, Joe Biden made a mistake during an act where he was looking for a deceased congresswoman. "Jackie, are you here? Where is Jackie?" asked the president. He was referring to Jackie Walorski, a Republican congresswoman who died last August in a car accident.

Another of the mistakes of the president of the United States took place in Madrid, in the month of June. Biden confused Sweden with Switzerland, though he was quick to chime in, joking, "My God, I'm really looking forward to expanding NATO, from Sweden."
