1. President Joe Biden caught himself in the act of an embarrassing gaffe during a #pressconference on Thursday, mistakenly saying neutral Switzerland was joining NATO - rather than Sweden.

He quickly recovered, joking that he must be getting anxious about the process of #expanding the #alliance .

Biden delivered his remarks at the end of a NATO summit in Madrid, Spain, where the big news was Turkey dropping its objection to Sweden and Finland joining the alliance.

2. President #joebiden momentarily confused #switzerland and #sweden while touting the latter's pending ascension to the North #AtlanticTreaty Organization during a Thursday morning press conference.

Speaking at the #natosummit in Madrid, Biden recounted the process of bringing #finland and Sweden into the defensive alliance and spoke of what the two historically #neutralnations bring to the table, but he couldn't avoid a #gaffe in doing so.
