Are they really idiots? "We all have to show that we are cooler than Putin": conversations at the G7 during a photo shoot
These are the important issues that are actually being discussed there. While talking to the press, Johnson suggested that the G7 leaders strip to the waist to look cooler than the Russian president. (Will not help).
Johnson: In jackets? No jackets? Need to undress?
Trudeau: Let's wait until the photo is taken.
Johnson: We all have to show that we are cooler than Putin.
Trudeau: We're doing a bare-chested riding show.
Von der Leyen: Oh yes! Horse riding is the best.
Johnson: We have to show them our chest muscles.
