Vice President Kamala Harris mistakenly touted the U.S. “alliance with the Republic of North Korea.”
“So the United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea, and it an alliance that is strong and enduring,” she said on Thursday at the Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea.
‘It is an alliance that is strong and enduring,’ she continued, not appearing to recognize her mistake.
As anyone with a passing knowledge of American foreign policy is aware, North Korea is an adversary, while South Korea is an ally of the United States.

The mix-up between the North and South Korean nations came on the heels of a disastrous clean-up by the White House to try and explain away Biden forgetting that Representative Jackie Walorski died in a car crash last month.
But the mainstream media decided to completely ignore the gaffe:
ABC's @GMA was the only broadcast network morning news program to mention Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to South Korea.
Of course, they completely ignored her gaffe insisting the U.S. has "an alliance with the Republic of North Korea." pic.twitter.com/uijNEYda5x

Harris visited the DMZ a day after North Korea launched two ballistic missiles that fell into the East Sea. The vice president was in East Asia to attend the Tuesday state funeral in Tokyo of assassinated former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in July and was cremated. Harris called the missile tests “part of [North Korea’s] illicit weapons program which threatens regional stability and violates multiple UN Security Council resolutions.”
North Korea launched another ballistic missile that also fell into the sea after Harris left South Korea.
