Johnson congratulates Biden on his victory with a tweet that includes the word 'Trump'

The British government called the tweet of Prime Minister Boris Johnson a technical mistake, in which, through congratulations to Joe Biden on his victory in the presidential election, the word "Trump" appears in the background. More details about the incident told the publication with the BBC.

“Congratulations to Joe Biden on winning the US presidential election and Kamala Harris on her historic achievement. The United States is our most important partner, and I look forward to us working together on issues of shared values, from climate change to trade and security,” Johnson’s congratulations said.

This oversight was first noticed by users of social networks, and some media reported that in the congratulation you can also see the difficult to distinguish words "second term".

The British authorities explained that the congratulations in two versions were prepared even before the election result became known. The appearance in a tweet of the mention of Trump's name, they said, was the result of the overlapping of two pictures.

“Two congratulations were prepared even before the result of these elections, which were held in a very close contest, became known. Due to a technical error, a picture prepared for another message was used for the background,” a government spokesman said.

Johnson later congratulated Biden on his victory over the phone, beating many European leaders. The prime minister said he hopes to strengthen the US-UK partnership and develop common priorities.

The tweet congratulating Johnson came on Saturday, November 7, after broadcasters in the United States and around the world announced Biden as the winner based on an analysis of the incoming data. The counting of votes is still ongoing.

President Donald Trump does not recognize the vote and is preparing lawsuits demanding a review of the results in some states.

In recent days, Biden's team has been trying to avoid the question of Johnson's role in Brexit, as well as his comments about Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama.

Biden never concealed his negative attitude towards Brexit and insisted on the need to maintain peace in Northern Ireland for a trade agreement between Britain and the United States.
