US President Joe Biden has been roasted online after he sat "dazed and confused" as his handlers ushered out reporters.

Biden hosted a trilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Bongbong Marcos on Thursday.

“I’ve seen that look in secure dementia units,” wrote one user.

The 81-year-old's press handlers initially forgot to bring journalists in to observe his meeting.

According to the New York Post, while the US President, Japanese and Philippine leaders had their meeting the press was left downstairs.

After the meeting concluded, reporters were quickly ushered out, with Biden ignoring all questions.

According to the New York Post, the mix-up with the journalists came down to an inexperienced crop of handlers in charge of the event.
