Biden Angrily Tells Finnish Reporter She May Not ‘Be Able to Go Home,’ Confuses Iceland, Ireland

President Biden grew flustered with a reporter here Thursday and angrily told her that she doesn’t know if she will make it home — after he confused the nations of Iceland and Ireland, the latter of which he called his “home” despite nearly two centuries of genealogical distance.

Iida Tikka, of Finland’s public broadcaster YLE, was the second member of the press in two days to provoke a presidential outburst in response to a question.

“What actions will you take to assure Finland that US will remain a reliable NATO partner for decades to come?” she asked at a press conference after noting fringe American politicians who oppose US membership in the Atlantic alliance.

“I absolutely guarantee it,” Biden began, citing “overwhelming support” for NATO from the US public and Congress before adding, “no one can guarantee the future, but this is the best bet anyone could make.” . . .

“Let me be clear,” Biden interjected, “I didn’t say we didn’t guarantee — we couldn’t guarantee the future. You can’t tell me whether you’re gonna be able to go home tonight. No one can be sure what they’re gonna do.” (Read more from “Biden Angrily Tells Finnish Reporter She May Not ‘Be Able to Go Home,’ Confuses Iceland, Ireland” HERE)
