Vice President Harris Lauds U.S. Alliance with North Korea?

Here is an embarrassing gaffe by the U.S. Vice President:

A gaffe by US Vice-President Kamala Harris momentarily turned US policy on its head on Thursday when she declared the “important” alliance with communist North Korea – instead of South Korea, where she was speaking.

“So, the United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. And it is an alliance that is strong and enduring,” Ms Harris said on Thursday at the start of her speech in the Demilitarised Zone, or DMZ, where she visited at the end of a tour to Japan and South Korea.

Apparently not noticing her misstep, Ms Harris went on to deliver the rest of the speech, which provided a robust reaffirmation of Washington’s alliance with Seoul in the face of nuclear-armed North Korea.
