President Joe Biden slipped up during his State of the Union address, inviting the audience to fly with him to Moscow.
During his address, Biden touted his efforts to bring down prescription drug prices. To prove his point, he listed large foreign cities where drug prices are typically cheaper than in the United States. In a slip-up, he listed Moscow among these.
“I’m gonna get in trouble for saying this, but anybody wanna get in Air Force One with me and fly to Toronto, Berlin, Moscow — I mean, excuse me,” Biden said, prompting laughs. “Well, even Moscow, probably.”
