Biden twice refers to Gaza as 'Ukraine' when announcing US aid drops

President Biden mistakenly announced Friday that he was authorizing US airdrops of aid into “Ukraine” when he was supposed to say the Gaza Strip — another stumble propelling election-year scrutiny of his mental acuity.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief mixed up the global hot spots twice while hosting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in the Oval Office.

“In the coming days, we are going to join with our friends in Jordan and others in providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into Ukraine and seek to continue to open up other avenues into Ukraine, including the possibility of a marine corridor to deliver large amounts of humanitarian assistance,” Biden said.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed about 30 minutes later to reporters that Biden “was referring to Gaza” when he said “Ukraine.”
