Video of Italian PM bored at NATO summit goes viral

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. Several behind-the-scenes photos illustrate the relationships between the leaders of the Alliance's member countries.

The NATO summit in Washington has concluded, with the final statements noting, among other things, that China has become "a decisive enabler" supporting Russia's war against Ukraine.

Official statements by the leaders of member countries and the conclusions after the summit are one thing. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes photos and videos on the internet. Some of them, like the video of the bored Italian Prime Minister, quickly went viral on social media.

Giorgia Meloni was caught ostentatiously rolling her eyes, making faces, and glancing at her wrist as if looking for a watch during her conversation with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, manifesting a lack of interest in her conversation partner.

Foreign media explained the Italian Prime Minister's strange behavior, writing that her disdain and show of boredom were caused by US President Joe Biden's 40-minute delay and the subsequent delay of the summit.

Another video circulating on social media shows the "isolated" Hungarian Prime Minister. While everyone in the room participates in some dialogue during a break, Viktor Orban sits at an empty table, observing others. The recording clearly shows how Orban, who recently visited Russia as part of his "peace mission," is perceived by the leaders of the other Allied member countries.
