BREAKING: POTUS raised eyebrows during his remarks to the Canadian Parliament when he misspoke and thanked China for cooperating with the US. 'So today, I applaud China for stepping up,' Biden said.
"So today, I applaud China for stepping up," Biden said Friday before correcting himself."Excuse me. I applaud Canada. You can tell what I'm thinking about China. I won't get into that yet."Biden had been alluding to his updated Safe Third Country agreement with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address irregular migration.
Biden's mistake was not the only awkward moment during his 30-minute speech. During his introduction, he quipped about not supporting NHL team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. "I have to say, I like your teams except the Leafs," Biden said to boos."I’ll tell you why — they beat the Flyers back in January, that’s why."First lady Jill Biden backs the Philadelphia Flyers.
“Bonjour, Canada!” the president also said. “I must tell you, I took four years of French in school. First time I attempted to make a speech in French, I was laughed at. So that’s as good as I can get right now.”
