Biden was speaking about the war in Ukraine when he made the gaffe. He said: "I'm confident that President Putin will not succeed in his goal to dominate Ukraine." Moscow's plan and Putin's has been to dominate all of Ukraine," Biden said. "He has not done that. He will not do that. The United States, together with our allies and partners, are going to stand up to the aggression of President Putin," he said.
