Watch: Biden salutes Meloni, ‘wanders off’ at G7 summit

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.
