During a recent press conference, U.S. President Joe Biden caused a loud debate when he mistakenly referred to Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the "president of Mexico." His comment sparked active discussions on social media in both countries.
Twitter users (known as X) in Mexico mocked Biden's mistake by sharing images of the Mexican flag with the serpent eagle, instead of the Egyptian Saladin eagle from the country's coat of arms. On the other hand, Egyptians also joined the game, showing the Mexican eagle on the Egyptian flag with the caption "Long live the Mexican Arab Republic.
However, not all Egyptians saw the comic side of the mistake. Many users expressed distrust of President Biden and expressed their anger at his support for Israel during the Gaza conflict.
