>In an interview with ABC Television on the 5th, U.S. President Biden stated, “I’m the guy that got the Japanese to expand their budget.” Last June, Biden had similarly claimed, “I convinced them” regarding Japan’s defense budget increase, but later retracted this statement after the Japanese government asserted it was “our own decision.” This time, he didn’t specify which budget he was referring to, but this repeated “gaffe” is likely to raise questions about his understanding of the situation once again.
>The comment came in the context of Biden boasting about his diplomatic achievements as president, in response to a reporter’s question about whether he could “serve another four years.” In addition to mentioning Japan, he also said things like “I united NATO” and “I got countries outside Europe to support Ukraine.”
Reddit is not the place to criticize Biden. You’ll get banned
Gaffe? Lol
Japan doesn’t like being called out for antiquated positions that have been held since Biden was a baby, but calling it a gaffe is disingenuous at best
Someone’s accomplishment is just a normal task to others.
