Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape has responded to comments by US President Joe Biden who suggested his uncle was eaten by cannibals in the Pacific nation during World War II. In a statement, reported by Reuters, the leader said Biden "appeared to be insinuating that his uncle was cannibalised after his aircraft went down in the Pacific during World War II". "President Biden's comments may have been a slip of the tongue. However, my country does not deserve to be labelled as such," Marape added in the statement released late on Sunday. He urged Biden to get the "US military to search for the missing World War II servicemen so that the truth about missing servicemen", including the US President's uncle Ambrose Finnegan, "can be known". Last week, during an event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Biden spoke about his uncle, Second Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr., as a way to contrast the accounts that Donald Trump, as president, had made about fallen US service members, calling them "suckers" and "losers". Finnegan, the brother of Biden's mother, "was shot down over New Guinea", Biden said. The president said that Finnegan's body was never recovered and that "there were a lot of cannibals" in the area.
