Biden’s latest gaffe: confusion with new NATO member
Former US President Joe Biden was praised for his efforts in strengthening NATO during a campaign event in Reno, Nevada. Biden shared a conversation he had with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger shortly before his passing in the fall of 2023.
During the conversation, Kissinger commended Biden for his role in making NATO stronger than ever before. However, there was a slight confusion as Biden mixed up the Scandinavian countries of Finland and Norway in his speech.
Kissinger pointed out that Biden had united Europe in a way by expanding NATO and its borders to include Sweden and Norway. It is worth noting that Finland officially became a member of NATO in April 2023, while Norway is one of the founding countries of the alliance.
Biden’s remarks highlight the importance of strong international partnerships and alliances, such as NATO, in promoting peace and security around the world. The conversation with Kissinger serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to strengthen and expand NATO’s global influence.
