US president Joe Biden mispronounced Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s name while speaking at a White House event to mark the Indian holiday of Diwali.
In his speech, Mr Biden said: “Just today we’ve got news that ‘Rashid Sanook’ is now the prime minister.”
He described the news as ”pretty astounding” and a “groundbreaking milestone.”
Rishi Sunak has now become the UK’s third Prime Minister within the space of a few months after the departure of Liz Truss.
