South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol has called US lawmakers “morons” after talking to US leader Joe Biden, MBС reported.

“It will be so humiliating for Biden if these morons don’t take it to Congress,” the media quoted him as saying.

Presumably, the South Korean leader’s remark had to do with Biden’s assurance to contribute $6 billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, but such a decision would require the US president’s approval by Congress.

Meanwhile, South Korean Prime Minister Han Dok-soo said no one had heard Seok Yeol’s exact wording.

Earlier, Biden said that Ukraine “will never be a victory for Russia” and that the Russian leader “cannot stay in power”.

The US president later noted that he had not called for a change of power in Russia.

State Department senior energy security adviser Amos Hosteen said that Biden’s statements were made “on emotion” and did not reflect the official policy of the White House.
