The European leaders has tendered their support for US President Joe Biden following the gaffes he made at the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) summit held in Washington this week. The 81-year-old is under scrutiny after mistakenly referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as \u201cPresident Putin\u201d at the summit and mixing the names of Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in a press conference. As a result, fellow Democrats and other supporters urged Biden to drop his re-election bid. Geert Wilders, a member of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands, made fun of the president. \u201cPresident Putin meets Vice President Trump,\u201d he posted on X. However, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, while speaking to Reuters, supported Biden by saying that he must be tired. However, he was also concerned over the president\u2019s re-election against Trump. Other leaders also supported him by saying that slip of tongues are very common. \u201cSlips of tongue happen, and if you always monitor everyone, you will find enough of them,\u201d German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said when asked by reporters about Biden confusing Zelenskyy with Putin. Speaking to the BBC, newly-elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the US president is helping him solve several global issues. \u201cHe was actually in really good form, and mentally agile \u2014 absolutely across all the details,\u201d Starmer said. Moreover, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni praised the Democratic candidate for his active role in the summit. Biden, however, made headlines after he made a blunder in the summit. \u201cThis was Joe Biden\u2019s chance to win over doubters. He blew it,\u201d said a Times of London headline, while Italy\u2019s Il Giornale concluded it was the \u201cend of the road for Biden.\u201d Germany\u2019s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung described Biden\u2019s closing press conference as a \u201chumiliation \u2026 To put it harshly: The dignity of the office holder has been irreversibly tarnished.\u201d Switzerland\u2019s Neue Zuercher Zeitung believes that the Republican candidate can only be defeated if Biden withdraws from the race. \u201cAn old man flexing his political muscles and raising his brittle voice does not come across as powerful\u2026This president is not fit for a second term,\u201d the Zurich newspaper wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
