Watch: Joe Biden Forgets Who He’s Talking To — Calls Australian PM ‘That Fella Down Under’

U.S. President Joe Biden appeared to forget who he was talking to Wednesday night when he looked away from his prepared notes for just a few seconds and addressed Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison as “that fella down under.”

The verbal fumble came during an exchange between the two leaders and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson detailing a defence deal struck by the long standing allies to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines.

“Thank you Boris (Johnson) and I want to thank uh… that fella Down Under,” Biden said as he turned to the large screen Morrison was on.

“Thank you very much pal… appreciate it prime minister.”

The Australian leader simply smiled back politely and gave a thumbs up.

Social media users cringed at the exchange before describing Biden as “hopeless,” “embarrassing” and not up to the demands of the job. – READ MORE
