Biden Camp David Trilateral: “Distinguished Guests The Prime Minister Of Japan President” — Supply Chain

President Biden hosted an August 2023 Camp David trilateral with Japanese PM Kishida and South Korean President Yoon, mixing policy substance with introduction stumbles. Biden announced: “Today we’ve committed to launch a new what we call the supply chain early warning system. It’s going to supply chain early warning system pilot. And which will alert our nations to disruptions of certain products and materials. Like critical minerals or batteries so we can get ahead of the issues as we they appear with the experience that we’ve experienced during the pandemic.” Biden made the introduction gaffe: “Distinguished guests the prime minister of japan president” and later: “Now I yield to whom I yielded to. Distinguished guests the president of the republic of korea.” Biden joked with reporter: “We needed the voice of god to tell us. And you have a great imagination. And one question ends up being six, but thank you. I’ll try to answer all of them. I’m glad I didn’t have you as my law professor when I said one question.” Biden positioned summit: “But this summit was really about our relationship with each other and deepening cooperation across an entire range of issues that went well beyond just the immediate issues we’ve raised as america first policy walking away from the rest of the world is — it made us weaker not stronger.” On Hunter investigation: “I have no comment on any investigation that’s going on. That’s up to the justice department and that’s all I have to say.” Biden announced: “This is a perfect moment to be announcing this 300 million dollar ira investment here at dhs headquarters.”
