Biden’s “Uncle Eaten by Cannibals” Remark Offends Papua New Guinea, US Asked to Clear WWII Remains – News18

Papua New Guinea lashed out at US President Joe Biden, saying his nation does not deserve to be labelled as cannibals. PM James Marape urged the US to clear up the remnants of World War II littered across the Pacific, after Biden complained about his missing serviceman uncle. Biden had “appeared to imply his uncle was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down over PNG during WWII”, Marape’s office said. Biden has previously cited personal connection with Papua New Guinea on visits to Australia, talking about his uncle who died in a plane crash in May 1944.
