reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/papua-new-guinea-leader-responds-biden-comment-saying-nation-undeserving-2024-04-22/
Quick Glance: Biden's Controversial Cannibalism Remark Offends PNG Leader
- US President Joe Biden's remarks about his uncle's fate in Papua New Guinea during World War II offended Prime Minister James Marape, causing a diplomatic rift.
- Marape's statement highlighted that Biden seemed to suggest his uncle was consumed by cannibals, challenging the nation's reputation.
- During Australian PM Albanese's visit to PNG, he emphasized the strong defense ties and partnership between the two countries.
- White House press secretary Jean-Pierre defended Biden's comments, stressing the significance of honoring his uncle's sacrifice for the country.

irishexaminer.com/world/arid-41378080.html
Quick Glance: Biden's Cannibal Story Causes Confusion in Papua New Guinea
- Joe Biden's claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during World War Two has sparked confusion and criticism in the country.
- Official war records state that Finnegan died in a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean, with no mention of cannibalism or the plane being shot down.
- Analysts in Papua New Guinea consider Biden's comments unsubstantiated and poorly judged, especially as the US aims to strengthen ties with the country and counter Chinese influence in the region.
- Some residents were simply baffled by the remarks, while others found them unhelpful and damaging to Papua New Guinea's reputation, particularly after Biden cancelled a planned trip to the country last year.
