Biden starts to call Putin 'President Trump' at press conference
President Biden raised eyebrows with an odd gaffe during his press conference following a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin , in which he appeared to mistakenly use the name of his own predecessor when discussing the Russian leader. Biden spoke after Putin gave a separate press conference, and was reflecting on what he said about the Arctic. "I caught part of President, uh, Tru-- uh, Putin's press conference, and he talked about the need for us to have some kind of modus operandi where the Arctic was in fact a free zone," Biden said. House Republicans were quick to point out the error. Twitter users quickly took notice, with more than 2,900 likes and 1,100 retweets. A tweet observing the mix-up posted by CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins drew more than 17,000 likes and 1,400 retweets. This was not the president's first goof of the week. At the G-7 summit Sunday, Biden mixed up Libya and Syria – not once, but three times – while discussing humanitarian aid
