President Donald Trump reprised an old nickname for former President Joe Biden during the peace deal signing on Friday.
While seated with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Trump pointed out how long the conflict between the two countries had gone on before cracking a joke about “sleepy” Biden’s suspected efforts.
Watch:

“For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in tremendous suffering for both nations. They suffered gravely for so many years. Many tried to find a resolution, including the European Union, the Russians worked very hard on it, ever happened. Sleepy Joe Biden tried, but you know what happened there. He tried for probably 12 minutes and it didn’t work out,” the president said, to laughter from the audience.
“And many other countries tried, and they were unsuccessful, but with this accord, we’ve finally succeeded in making peace. And we just left the Oval Office where we signed voluminous documents and very important elements to the agreement. The countries of Armenia and Azerbaijan are committing to stop all fighting forever, open up commerce, travel and diplomatic relations, and respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, so importantly,” Trump continued. “I just spent a lot of time with these two men, I think they’re gonna have a great relationship [if] you wanna know the truth. They didn’t see each other that much, but they probably will.”
