President Biden made a low-key entrance at his first G20 summit, as the leaders of the world’s largest economies gathered Saturday in Rome.
The President, among the last to arrive for the traditional “family photo” of world leaders, took a place at the far edge of the blue-carpeted dais, next to Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi, the president of Congo, the summit’s African representative.
Biden offered a distant salute to Germany’s Angela Merkel, France’s Emmanuel Macron, and others — but only Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, moved in for a handshake.
