Biden and other world leaders miss the “Family Picture” at G20 Summit.
On 11/18/2024, President Biden missed a group photo of world leaders at the G20 summit RIO DE JANEIRO — as a perplexed pool reporter could be heard telling colleagues that the commander in chief was “behind the palm tree!”

Biden, 81, skipped the family picture after buzz ahead of time that he would do so to avoid being seen smiling alongside Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov during the ongoing Ukraine war.

The White House blamed “logistical issues” afterward and said it was simply a matter of bad timing that Biden missed the photo. “Oh my God… they took it!” an American journalist was heard uttering on the pooled video feed after other leaders clasped hands and smiled without the retiring commander in chief.

“Yup, he’s right there … he’s behind the palm tree right now!” the unidentified reporter alerted her peers. Biden’s spokespeople insisted afterward that G20 organizers didn’t wait long enough for him to arrive alongside Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau, who also missed the photo, as did Italian PM Giorgia Meloni.
