President Biden on Wednesday mixed up which German leader he spoke to at a recent Group of Seven (G7) summit, the second time in a week he has mistakenly recounted meeting with a dead European leader.

Biden told donors at a New York fundraiser a story about his trip to his first G7 meeting after taking office, when he declared “America’s back.”

“And the president of France looked at me and said, ‘For how long?’ I never thought of it this way,” Biden said. “Then, Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up The London Times tomorrow morning and learned that 1,000 people had broken down the doors, the doors of the British Parliament and killed some [people] on the way in [to] deny the prime minister to take office.’
