NATO summit reveals strained relations, viral moments among leaders
A video featuring Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who appears bored during a conversation with Finnish President Alexander Stubb at the NATO summit in Washington, has gone viral. Numerous candid photos illustrate the relationships among the Alliance's member countries' leaders.
The NATO summit in Washington has concluded. The final statements noted that China has become "a decisive enable" supporting Russia's war against Ukraine.
Video of Italy's prime minister goes viral
Official statements by the leaders of member countries and the conclusions after the summit are one thing. However, plenty of behind-the-scenes photos and videos are circulating on the internet. Among them, the video of the seemingly bored Italian Prime Minister quickly went viral on social media.
Giorgia Meloni was caught rolling her eyes, making faces, and glancing at her wrist as if looking for a watch during her conversation with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, clearly showing a lack of interest in her conversation partner.
Foreign media explain the Italian Prime Minister's peculiar behaviour, attributing her actions to US President Joe Biden's 40-minute delay, which subsequently delayed the summit.
Orban isolated
Another video circulating on social media shows the "isolated" Hungarian Prime Minister. While everyone in the room converses during a break, Viktor Orban sits alone at an empty table, observing others. This recording demonstrates how Orban, who recently visited Russia as part of his "peace mission," is perceived by the leaders of the other Allied member countries.
