- President Joe Biden said the ‘Special Relationship was in ‘real good shape’ as he welcomed British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to a smoke-shrouded White House on Thursday. It is the fifth time the two leaders have met since Sunak took office in October, but 80-year-old Biden still managed to botch the introductions.
- “Well Mr. President,” he began before correcting himself. “Mr President? I just demoted you.” Sunak laughed off the gaffe as Biden continued: ‘Mr Prime Minister, it’s great to have you back.’ Sunak is making his first visit to the White House.
