In Italy for the G7 summit, President Joe Biden faced some awkward moments right after landing. From a confused wander off the plane to a questionable salute to the Italian prime minister, Biden’s slip-ups were on full display. Additionally, he skipped a dinner with other world leaders due to a “jam-packed” schedule, raising eyebrows about his priorities at the summit.
Accompanied by his family members, including his son Hunter’s adult children, Biden eventually settled in for official meetings with leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the meeting, Biden pledged a 10-year commitment to provide military support to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The announcement of such a lengthy commitment raised concerns about the lack of a clear endpoint and strategic goals in aiding Ukraine.

In a statement, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan emphasized the U.S.’s unwavering support for Ukraine, aiming to deter Russian aggression. However, critics question the administration’s focus on Ukraine’s security while domestic issues like border control and foreign threats near Cuba are seemingly overlooked. As Russia’s presence near Cuba intensifies, Biden’s prioritization of Ukraine’s security raises concerns about his handling of broader international challenges.
During the meeting, Biden’s remarks veered into incoherence, including references to an “ocean train” and stumbling over discussions about corporate investments. His disjointed speech patterns continue to fuel speculation about his cognitive abilities and communication skills. With these early stumbling blocks at the G7, Biden’s ability to effectively represent the U.S. on the world stage comes into question, setting a challenging tone for the remainder of the summit.
