During a meeting with world leaders at the G7 summit in Savelletri, Italy, on Thursday afternoon, President Joe Biden was reportedly ridiculed on the international stage after he strayed from the group while they were taking photographs.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, EU Council President Charles Michel, and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen were among the attendees.
Biden began to disengage from the group as the leaders observed a parachuting demonstration in the open air.
Meloni was immediately mobilized and successfully managed to control the 81-year-old by gently touching his arm and directing him toward the group.

The video clip, which was released at a time when Biden has been the subject of serious questions regarding his fitness for office, was met with widespread dismay by many.
This is due to the fact that his presidency has been marked by a plethora of videos capturing him falling off his bicycle, on stages, and on staircases.
