Biden accidentally praises China instead of Canada in awkward state visit gaffe
Joe Biden found himself in a sticky situation when he accidentally hailed China instead of Canada in a speech praising the country.

“Today, I applaud China for stepping up,” the president told Canadian parliament.

He almost made the same gaffe later in the day with Japan and Russia.
