The White House deleted a post on President Biden’s account that apparently confused the Vietnamese National Assembly chairman with the country’s president.
On Monday, Biden’s official White House account on X, formerly known as Twitter, thanked Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong after his visit to the Asian nation.
“President Vo Van Thuong, thank you for such a productive meeting,” Biden’s tweet said.
“This partnership is about unleashing our peoples’ potential and, with it, a range of incredible possibilities,” the president continued.
However, the photo Biden posted of him shaking hands with the Vietnamese “president” was not with the Asian country’s president.
Rather, the photo was of Biden shaking hands with Vietnamese National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
Biden’s post has since been deleted, but not before some users online torched him over the misnomer.
