This is not the first time Biden makes mistakes while giving a speech, in 2020, President Joe mixed up Iraq and Iran by saying "The Iran parliament voted to eject all American coalition forces."
In another speech, Joe Biden mixed up Syria and Libya at the G-7 Summit in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Biden was speaking about Russia’s military actions in Syria, but three times mistakenly confused the country with Libya.
