– I must admit that there was a slight moment of stress in the room just when he said that. This is what Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide (Ap) says about the moment Joe Biden introduced the Ukrainian president as Putin. Biden called Zelenskyj Putin In the aftermath of Dagsnytt 18, the foreign minister elaborates: – It was really the only mistake he made at this meeting, but it was unfortunate that he introduced Zelenskyj as Putin of all people. He took to it at once. – It must be quite stressful for him Eide says that you can notice that everyone is now studying Biden’s movements carefully because of his age and his last missteps. – It must be quite stressful for him, he adds. Joe Biden (81) has almost been followed closely after the disastrous debate between him and Donald Trump. When Biden on Thursday evening, at the NATO meeting’s last meeting, presented the president of Ukraine as Putin, it confirmed the critics’ accusations. It didn’t help that shortly afterwards he introduced his vice president, Kamala Harris, as Trump. Eide concludes by saying that he found Biden to be a good host for the NATO summit who kept things going for the three days the meeting lasted. The Democrats are investigating various possibilities According to CNN, which has spoken to several Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama are said to have privately discussed the future of Biden’s presidential campaign. None of them should be quite sure how the Democrats will proceed to beat Trump. Pelosi has also stated that it is legitimate to question Biden’s health. Barack Obama, for his part, has not commented after he published a post on X after the debate. – Bad debate evenings happen, he wrote after the debate on 27 June. World leaders defend Biden Both the President of France and the Chancellor of Germany have commented on the gossip. Both say that happens. Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has also defended Biden. – It’s a speech error, and we can all say something wrong. I think that the only one who is happy about this is Putin, Fredriksen said after Thursday’s summit. Published 12.07.2024, at 18.46 Updated 12.07.2024, at 19.02
