In an amusing moment during the two-day visit of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to Washington, DC, US President Joe Biden inadvertently referred to him as "Mr. President" during their meeting in the Oval Office of The White House. With a light-hearted tone, Biden quickly corrected his mistake, saying, "Well, Mr. President... I just demoted you, Mr. Prime Minister." The slip of the tongue drew a brief moment of laughter from both leaders. Seeking to assure Sunak, President Biden expressed his confidence in the robustness of the US-UK special relationship, stating that it is in "real good shape." He emphasized that Great Britain remains the United States' closest ally, affirming that he was "delighted" to have the prime minister visit the US capital. The exchange between the two leaders serves as a lighthearted reminder of the cordial nature of their diplomatic ties.
