President Biden accidentally applauded China instead of Canada when praising the country's migration policies.Canadian MPs laughed at Biden when he corrected himself.
"In the United States, we're expanding legal pathways for migration, to seek safety and humanitarian…humanitarian basis, while discouraging unlawful migration that feeds exploitation and human trafficking," the president began.
"So today, I applaud China for stepping out...excuse me, I applaud Canada," Biden stumbled while Canadian Members of Parliament laughed. US President Joe Biden pauses during a joint press conference with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building in Ottawa, Canada, on March 24, 2023.
"You can tell what I'm thinking…about China. I won't get into that yet," Biden said."I applaud Canada's stepping up of similar programs." Biden did not reference China again during his address to Parliament, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted China's competitive edge before Biden began speaking."Economic policy is climate policy is security policy, with growing competition, including from an increasingly assertive China," Trudeau said."There's no doubt why it matters that we turn to each other now to build up a North American market on everything from semiconductors to solar panel batteries.
