President Biden made another gaffe during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House on Thursday. While discussing a proposal to build a railway spanning Sub-Saharan Africa, Biden mistakenly mentioned building “a railroad from the Pacific Ocean — from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Indian Ocean,” referring to one of the largest oceans off the coast of Africa. He also appeared to confuse China with Canada when discussing the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative in Africa. Sunak laughed off the mistake during the Oval Office meeting, but polls indicate that a significant number of voters have concerns about Biden’s mental acuity.

Biden’s knowledge of African oceans questioned as he confuses them in statement

President Biden committed a geographical gaffe during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in the White House on Thursday. Biden mistakenly referred to the Pacific Ocean when discussing the coast of Africa, where his administration has proposed building a railway project in collaboration with other countries. Africa is not bounded by the Pacific Ocean but is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean.

During the press conference, Biden said, “We’re talking about building — and I had my team putting together with other countries as well — to build a railroad from the Pacific Ocean — from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Indian Ocean.” The White House has not commented on the proposal.

Aside from this, Biden mistakenly referred to the UK Prime Minister as ‘Mr. President’ during their meeting in the Oval Office. Sunak laughed off the error. Polls have repeatedly shown that voters have concerns over Biden’s mental acuity. Just 32% of voters in a Washington Post-ABC poll released this month believed that Biden has the mental sharpness needed for the presidency.
