Joe Biden loses footing slightly on steps during G7 visit to one of Japan's famous tourist attractions
Biden takes a trip: President, 80, STUMBLES while walking down steps
of shrine as G7 leaders wait on him and then leaves their group dinner
early
President Joe Biden
tripped as he walked down the stairs of the Itsukushima Shrine on
Friday in his rush to greet Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The president was running late - all the other G7
leaders had arrived on Miyajima Island and were waiting on him to begin
the tour of the holy site - when he stumbled and caught himself before
he fell.
He and Kishida continued on as
if the slip didn't happen, joining the rest of the heads of state to
see the iconic 'floating' torii gate. The evening on the famous island,
known for its wild deer, capped the end of a long first day of the
summit.
