Biden made other world leaders wait more than five minutes to take the group photo at the APEC Summit in Peru — then stuck him in the back corner when he finally showed up.
Xi Jinping was front and center.

Lame-duck President Biden was relegated to the back corner of the APEC conference’s annual family photo — as Chinese President Xi Jinping was honored with a front-and-center position next to the host country’s President Dina Boluarte. The petty humiliation of America’s leader comes ahead of his Saturday afternoon meeting with Xi — who has been feted with relative pomp throughout the event as thanks for his country’s financing of a large new port on Peru’s coast.

The order of world leaders was alphabetical by country — though a review of past APEC family photos shows national positions aren’t fixed, with then-President Donald Trump taking a center spot in a pair of family photos in 2017 for the APEC summit in Vietnam, the only such gathering he attended.

Biden traveled with his daughter Ashley and granddaughter Natalie.

Before leaving Peru, Biden will meet with Xi for the third and final time of his presidency. Biden’s presidency featured Republican accusations that he was too soft on China due to millions of dollars paid to his brother James Biden and son Hunter Biden during and immediately after his eight-year vice presidency.
