New York: In a gaffe, US President Barack Obama referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "President" in his remarks after their bilateral meeting.
The slip of tongue was recorded in the first White House transcript of his remarks but later it was re-issued, correcting the "President" to "Prime Minister".
The gaffe happened when Obama was making his remarks after talks with Prime Minister Modi on Tuesday.
