Just about two weeks after Joe Biden left a Vietnam veteran standing alone on stage during his tribute, the US president made the following strange exit in New York on Wednesday: after a performance with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio, he forgot Lula da Silva to which he responded. shook hands with his Brazilian counterpart, greeted media representatives and walked away…
Unlike the veteran tribute at the beginning of September, Biden did not mingle with the surprised guests this time, but disappeared backstage. Beforehand he shook hands with Gilbert Houngbo, director general of the International Labor Organization, who was also present. There was no more handshake with Lula da Silva because Biden had already turned away and was somewhat restless in greeting the reports and the audience.
Lula leaves the exit in the opposite direction
Lula was about to approach the 80-year-old Democrat, but understood the situation and left the stage in the opposite direction together with Houngbo.
Partnership for workers’ rights sealed
Biden previously met Lula da Silva on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, where a partnership for workers’ rights was sealed. A US government official said the agreement was aimed at “advancing the rights of workers around the world.” Accordingly, the two countries are committed to combating forced and child labor and discrimination against women and sexual minorities.
A speech by Biden in the UN General Assembly was also criticized and mocked on social media because Biden’s words were difficult to understand.
