american presidentJoe Bidenwas confused this Friday when announcing an “important” press conferencewhich was never on the agenda and which will finally not take place.
The Democratic president surprised journalists accredited to the White House when he told them that he would give “an important press conference” in the afternoon.
The surprise was huge because Biden is not given to this type of announcement, there were none scheduled and, except for national crises or large unforeseen events, presidential press conferences are always anticipated. In fact, one of the biggest criticisms of the US president is that he gives few press conferences.
Despite the announcement, in the end the press conference did not take place. According to a source familiar with the error, the president was referring to a scheduled news interview with MSNBC News that will air Friday night.

This battle was not decisive since France ended up imposing the Mexican Empire, led by Maximilian of Habsburg.
