US President Joe Biden on Saturday referred to Cambodia, which is hosting the international summit led by Southeast Asian leaders, as Colombia.
“Now that we are together again here in Cambodia [Cambodia]I look forward to building on even more progress than we have already achieved, and I want to thank the prime minister of Colombia for his leadership as chair of ASEAN and for hosting us all,” Biden said during a meeting with his counterparts in the Union of Southeast Asian Nations in Phnom Penh.

The president, who is on a busy tour schedule with stops at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, ASEAN in Phnom Penh and the G20 summit in Indonesia, made a similar slip while speaking to reporters at the White House recently.
Joe Biden, who turns 80 on Nov. 20, said this week he intends to run for re-election in 2024, with his final decision likely to be made early next year.
Biden’s occasional verbal stumbles and tendency to deviate from the text during live appearances have been seized upon by his Republican critics as evidence that he is too old for the job.
