In an awkward moment from the joint press conference earlier today, Joe Biden appeared to forget the Australian prime minister’s name as he gave his remarks on the new partnership.

The US president could only refer to Scott Morrison as “that fella Down Under” and “Mr Prime Minister”, while he mentioned Boris Johnson correctly by name.

America's leader can't even remember your head of state's name but they're more than glad to have you as a first line of defence against the PLA.
