Summary
The American president had twice called Yoon by his correct name earlier in the speech.In an ironic twist, the slip-up came almost exactly one year after Biden mistakenly referred to Moon as South Korea’s “prime minister” rather than “president” during a White House Medal of Honor ceremony honoring Korean War veteran Ralph Puckett Jr.“The people of the Republic of Korea haven’t forgotten, as evidenced by the fact that the Prime Minister of Korea is here for this ceremony,” Biden said on March 21 of last year, referring to Moon.The president turns 80 in November and Republicans routinely accuse him of being in mental decline, but he’s also had a decades-long propensity for gaffes and has attributed some of his speaking stumbles to a stutter that he overcame in childhood.Biden struggled on multiple occasions with names this week.On Monday, he referred to Buffalo mass shooting hero Aaron Salter Jr.
