US President Joe Biden made yet another gaffe on Saturday at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit. Speaking at the event, Mr Biden mixed up Colombia and Cambodia.

"It was an honour to host at the White House in May, and now that we are back together in Cambodia," the US President said as he opened the talks.
