Prime Minister Marape accused Joe Biden of disparaging the South Pacific island nation by implying that an uncle of the U.S. president had been eaten by cannibals there during World War II.

“World War II was not the doing of my people; however, they were needlessly dragged into a conflict that was not their doing,” Marape added. Marape also called on the U.S. to find its war dead in Papua New Guinea’s jungles and to clean up the wreckage of war.
