By The FirstPresident Biden baffled world leaders this week when he thanked leaders of Colombia for hosting the ASEAN summit that’s actually in Cambodia.
“It was an honor to host at the White House in May, and now that we are back together in Cambodia,” Biden said as he opened the talks. “I look forward to building even stronger progress than we’ve already made. I want to thank the prime minister for Colombia’s leadership as ASEAN chair.”
“Together we will tackle the biggest issues of our time, from climate to health security to defend against significant threats to rules-based order and to threats against the rule of law,” the president remarked. “We’ll build an Indo-Pacific that is free and open, stable and prosperous, resilient and secure.”
