In a recent speech at the Pacific Islands Forum, President Joe Biden stumbled over the acronym for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Despite the slip-up, Biden emphasized that the name wasn’t as important as the agency’s mission.

During his virtual address, the President was discussing the role of USAID in providing aid to Pacific Island nations.

However, he fumbled the acronym, leading to a moment of awkwardness. According to New York Post Biden quickly recovered, stating, “It doesn’t matter what we call it, what matters is what we do.” (You can watch the episode in the video below)
