U.S. President Joe Biden encountered another slip during his meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as he forgot to shake his hand and left the stage after their joint press conference. A video captured Biden's strange reaction following the end of their joint press briefing. While Lula da Silva approached his American counterpart, Biden completely ignored him, waved to the audience, and departed.
It seems that Biden did not notice Lula da Silva approaching him, while the latter felt quite embarrassed and quickly walked away, gesturing that he would be leaving as well. Biden met with the Brazilian president on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. Witness President Biden's oversight as he forgets to shake hands with Brazil’s president and instead salutes the media, resulting in a situation that is perceived as comical and ironic.
