Joe Biden's Ireland Trip: Confusion, Meetings, Reactions, and Affection

US President Joe Biden confused New Zealand's All Blacks rugby team with the British military force known as the Black and Tans that terrorized Ireland during a speech in a pub in Dundalk on the first day of his three-day visit to Ireland. The White House corrected the gaffe by crossing out "Black and Tans" and inserting "All Blacks" in the official transcript of the remarks. The mistake trended on Twitter and zinged around international media coverage of the visit, but in Ireland, most commentary seemed to view it as funny and harmless.
