President Joe Biden, who has had a number of awkward moments since taking office, flubbed a line during his Friday Medal of Honor presentation ceremony when referring to a visiting dignitary.
Biden, with South Korean President Moon Jae-in standing nearby, detailed the valor exhibited by retired Army Col. Ralph Puckett during the Korean War. The president said that both Puckett’s men and the “people of the Republic of Korea have never forgotten” his bravery, “as evident by the fact that the Prime Minister of Korea is here for this ceremony.”

“I doubt this has happened before,” Biden said of a foreign head of state taking part in a Medal of Honor ceremony. “I can’t say that for certain, but I doubt this has happened before.”
Though Moon took part in the ceremony, South Korean Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum was not part of the Korean delegation that traveled to Washington, D.C., to take part in bilateral negotiations on Friday.
