The G7 summit hosted by Italy officially opened yesterday, with leaders holding a series of meetings and watching a special paratrooper show in the evening.
The parachutists who performed the show jumped from the sky and landed safely holding the flags of the G7 countries. The show highlighted the unity and military strength among the G7 countries and the leaders stated that they were pleased with the show.
Meloni quickly stepped in.
But leaders posing after the show were stunned when US President Joe Biden turned around and contacted paratroopers who were trying to retrieve their belongings. Aware of the situation, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of the host country immediately intervened.
As other leaders praised the paratroopers and helped Biden turn to face the cameras, Meloni grabbed Biden’s arm and slowly walked away, while other leaders approached the pair and posed, noting that Biden slowly tried to put on his sunglasses as he posed.
Biden, who is expected to face the 81-year-old Biden in the upcoming US presidential election, has been the target of criticism, particularly due to his advanced age. The 77-year-old Republican candidate Donald Trump, who is expected to face the 81-year-old Biden, has also frequently criticized the US president, who is four years his senior.
