When asked about the US relieving some of Poland's rising Ukrainian refugee population due to the Russia-Ukraine war, Duda looked to Harris, seemingly waiting for her response.

Harris said, "Okay," before laughing alongside Duda at the press stand.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed," followed Harris before the VP, Duda, and the crowd of reporters joined in on the awkward chuckling.

The two leaders went on to confirm that there have been talks for the US to provide aid, and the VP assured reporters, "we will not send them back to what is a war zone."

The video clip was and now has nearly one million views.

Twitter users immediately responded to the strange moment and commented on their frustrations.

"How could ANYONE look at the Ukrainian refugees in the camps in Poland and think it's a laughing matter," said one user.

Another user commented, "You don't expect a world-class politician to be so anxious and uncomfortable that they regularly engage in nervous laughter."

REPEAT OFFENDER

Harris has been repeatedly criticized for laughing through situations in front of the public eye.

The VP nervously laughed in August after being asked about the US withdrawing from Afghanistan.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on," Harris said giggling after the question. "Slow down, everybody."

After this event, Harris's approval ratings plummeted as Americans disagreed with how she handled the media situation.

Her ratings also suffered after seven staff members in her office left after only a year in office.

Meghan McCain even went so far as to compare the VP to The Joker tweeting that Harris has, "ample time and resources to media train herself out of reacting to every SINGLE crisis situation like she's walking onto a late-night show."
