Questions are being raised once again about US President Joe Biden’s memory. Another forgettable incident happened with him when he shared the stage with Quad leaders in Delaware on Sunday morning. At this event, Biden, PM Modi, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Japan’s Fumio Kishida launched the Cancer Moonshot initiative to reduce the burden of cancer in the Indo-Pacific. During this, Joe Biden suddenly introduced PM Modi on the stage and said, “Who am I introducing next?” Then Joe Biden asked, “Who’s next?”
After speaking about the Cancer Moonshot initiative, Biden was to introduce PM Modi on the stage. But the US President stumbled and appeared confused about his next move. When PM Modi came forward for his address, the moderator of the event announced his name.

In recent years, Joe Biden has had episodes of freezing and stumbling over his words during public events, raising concerns about the 81-year-old president’s mental state. In July this year, Joe Biden attended the NATO summit in Washington where he mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Then this year, Biden’s performance during the first presidential debate with Republican Donald Trump was also scrutinised as the US President stuttered and stumbled on several occasions. The debate raised serious questions about his ability to contest re-election, which eventually led to his withdrawal from the presidential race.
Earlier, when Biden arrived in Italy during the G7 summit, he saluted Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni in a slightly different manner. After this, he suddenly moved away from the group during the photo session. In the video of his meeting with Meloni, Biden was seen slowly walking on the stage after meeting Meloni, then first the two hugged each other and talked for some time. After this, Biden placed his hand on his forehead and after saluting Meloni, he slowly left the stage.

Meanwhile, in another event, when a paraglider landed, all the leaders welcomed it by clapping and were seen standing together. During this, Biden was seen smiling and walking slowly in the other direction. After walking some distance, he also gave a thumbs up to someone. But as soon as the camera turned towards him, it was seen that there was no one there. The other leaders also started looking towards Biden. Meanwhile, Georgia Meloni was seen holding his hand and bringing him towards the other leaders.
