G7 Summit 2024: He was subjected to days of vicious trolling from Republicans who made fun of him for standing still for about a minute during a musical performance at the White House.
prone to mistakes As US President Joe Biden arrived in Italy for the G7 conference on Thursday, he was observed giving Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni an embarrassing salute. Subsequently, he seemed to stray from a group of leaders as they posed for pictures.
Biden can be seen cautiously making his way to the platform in a video of the exchange with Ms. Meloni. The US president gives her a salute and puts his palm to his forehead after they hug and chat for a short while before carefully leaving the stage.
The 81-year-old leader, who is frequently criticized for his mistakes, was shown grinning and leisurely leaving a gathering of international leaders in another video. He moves a few feet and then enthusiastically gives someone the thumbs up. There is nobody visible standing in that way as the camera moves in his direction.
The prime minister of Italy promptly intervenes to save him, drawing his focus to the group of leaders posing for a picture. Then Biden returns to the group by shuffling.
This occurs a few days after he was subjected to constant trolling by Republicans who made fun of him for standing still for almost a minute during a musical performance at the White House.
Biden remained stuck, his gaze riveted, even though Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, standing next to the president, were spotted dancing and smiling during the performance.
Known for making mistakes and blunders, Biden’s opponents have made fun of him to undermine his candidacy because of his elderly age.
The US president has had difficult moments with other foreign leaders before. The president mistook the name of France’s President Emmanuel Macron in February for that of the late Francois Mitterrand, who had been gone for almost thirty years. He made another mistake by mispronouncing his own deputy’s title and elevating her to his position by referring to her as “President Kamala Harris”.
