US President Joe Biden mispronounced the name of the new UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, as he congratulated him during a Diwali celebration at the White House on Mondayevening.
At the event, Biden said to cheers: “Just today, we’ve got news that Rashee, RasheeSanook is now the prime minister.”
美国政治新闻网:“Rashee Sanook!拜登以叫错名字的方式欢迎英国新任首相”
英国《卫报》:“‘Rashee Sanook:拜登在白宫排灯节活动叫错Sunak名字”
不仅说错了英国新首相的名字,拜登之后还说道:“就像我的兄弟会说的那样,‘去想想看吧!’( As my brother would say, ‘Go figure!’)”。视频显示,拜登笑着说完这句话后,台下一片笑声。
“The remark reflects the unprecedented chaos that has seen Liz Truss forced out after just 49 days in power – making her the shortest-serving prime minister in history.
Her disastrous mini-budget, built on the sand of massive unfunded tax cuts, crashed the financial markets and shredded public trust, triggering her rejection by Tory MPs.”
Sunak takes over with most of his party eager to unite around yet another new leader – but facing the poisoned inheritance of announcing huge spending cuts, and tax rises potentially, within days.
