European leaders defended U.S. President Joe Biden after a number of gaffes during a NATO summit while the continent's media took them as further evidence he was not fit to defeat Donald Trump in November's presidential election.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer looks on as US President Joe Biden speaks, where he introduced Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy as "President Putin" during the closing ceremony, at the Nato 75th anniversary summit at the Walter E. Wash ington Convention Center, in Wash ington DC, US. Picture date: Thursday July 11,...during a NATO summit while the continent's media took them as further evidence he was not fit to defeat Donald Trump in November's presidential election.
While European leaders who attended the summit were diplomatic about Biden and praised the organisation of the summit, the European press, such as Britain's Daily Telegraph, concluded that "Biden looks finished".
