President Joe Biden has been ridiculed by Twitter users after he admitted at his media conference – following talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin – that he would only be calling on reporters from a prepared list.

Congressman Greg Steube questioned how that move was "acceptable" while Steve Guest, the special advisor for communications for Senator Ted Cruz, said it was an "embarrassing" blunder from the president.

Other Twitter users said President Biden accidentally "said the quiet part out loud".
