Biden's Ireland Visit: Gaffes, Security Mishaps, and Affection.

TL;DR Summary
President Biden made a cringeworthy gaffe during a speech in Ireland, mistakenly referring to the British military force "Black and Tans" instead of the New Zealand rugby team "All Blacks." The "Black and Tans" were notorious for their brutal treatment of Irish civilians during the Irish War of Independence. Biden's trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which ended decades of sectarian violence. A top-secret document containing the itinerary for his visit to Belfast and information about his protective detail was found in the street, prompting a security scare.
