The Moment of the G7 Summit
The US Republican Party has sparked controversy on social media with videos showing apparent misunderstandings by US President Joe Biden during the G7 summit. One of the highlights was when Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni approached Biden for a photo during an aerial display by paratroopers, attended by Group of Seven leaders in the Pulla region , in southern Italy.
Biden’s Air Show and Gestures
During the aerial display, each paratrooper unfurled the flag of one of the G7 members, and upon landing, Biden parted slightly from the group and waved approval at some of the paratroopers. This scene was captured in images transmitted by the CSPAN portal.
The intervention of Giorgia Meloni
At this point, Giorgia Meloni approached Biden and invited him to join the photo with the rest of the leaders. This interaction highlighted the presence of Biden, who at the age of 81 is seeking re-election in the upcoming elections in November. If he wins, the Democrat would end his second term at 86 years old.
Biden’s Concerns and Background
The images have reignited concerns about Biden’s ability to serve another four years. According to recent polls, 73% of registered voters think Biden is too old to be effective in office, regardless of political affiliation.
Conclusion of the G7 Summit
The first day of the G7 summit in southern Italy concluded with a gala dinner at Brindisi Castle, attended by the leaders of the group, except for Biden. This meeting was an outstanding event, with aerial displays and the participation of the leaders of the member countries.
