Watch: US President Joe Biden salutes Meloni, ‘wanders off’ in gaffe videos from G7 summit

NEW DELHI: Video of US President Joe Biden‘s “embarrassing” moments from G7 Summit being held in Italy has gone viral. Two videos of Biden, already famous for gaffes, are doing rounds on social media giving ammunition to the Republican trolls.
In the first video, he was seen awkwardly saluting Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after he arrived for the G7 summit on Thursday.Social media users swiftly shared videos of the awkward salutation, which went viral. While some considered Biden’s move out of touch, others applauded him for showing his Italian counterpart some dignity. Meloni, however, seemed unperturbed by the gesture and continued with her engagements.

Later in another video, Biden was seen awkwardly walking away from the group as the world leaders posed for official G7 photo. The video showed Biden walking a few feet away from the group as he gave a thumbs up to someone. Meloni, however, quickly reached out to him, tapping on his shoulder to get his attention back to the group photo.
The video has also caught attention of users on social media. Although some users have pointed out that the 30-second clip lacks context. The Newsweek reported that the video first appears to be shared on X by the account RNC Research, which is managed by former president Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee.

The 81-year-old Biden comes under scanner as he seeks another term as US president. Last week, he was spotted awkwardly fumbling for his seat during a poignant D-Day commemoration ceremony in France despite his wife Jill Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron remaining upright beside him.
