Johnson and Trudeau mock Putin at G7 summit: 'A bare-chested horseback ride'

The UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, has urged other world leaders to hold firm in their long-term support for Ukraine at G7 talks, amid increasing concern that some countries could become swayed by calls for Kyiv to cede territory to Russia in exchange for peace.

Johnson and the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, even began their talks with a mocking reference to the Russian president Vladimir Putin’s penchant for ultra-macho, topless official photographs. A suggestion they remove their jackets amid the heat prompted Trudeau to jokingly suggest 'a bare-chested horseback ride', while Johnson said they could 'show our pecs'

Putin's horse looks more human then Boris.

[kenskens]

they are laughing, they are happy, they are joking, and they said they care about Ukraine.

[georgesclaude]

Can you only imagine Churchill and Roosevelt saying such things during the WW2?

[caribbeanchild]

In front of Biden? LOL. He can't even stay up on a bicycle. Putin must be having fun with this.

[davidwestbury]

Our glorious leaders acting like school kids and Johnson is the worse! Embarrassing!

[vladimirolujic]

Pathetic. They're having fun, not caring about all the cameras. Imagine how much they don't care about people when the cameras are off. And when Zelensky comes up on the monitor, they put on a concerned, serious face. Yuck.

[chrislewis]

I wonder if they would say that to his face

[bbcisaids]

A table of liars, thieves and coward's

It clearly shows G7’s inferiority complex against vladimir Putin😂

The BRICS nations had a meeting a few days ago. They also had invited guest countries. They talked serious issues, didn't mock other leaders or anything and more importantly it was a virtual meeting. Remember that climate issue these bozos are always harping on about and never do anything about but try their hardest to get you to do something about.

Every day Boris remains PM, I'm embarrassed to be British. This just shows the arrogance of the bloke - that kind of comment wouldn't go down well in a normal team meeting, never mind televised between world leaders. Especially the "show him our pecs" 🤮

Van Der Leyen : "Oh yes, horse riding is the best!"
Yeah this is the level...

[Rat-Salad]

The thought of Boris IN CLOTHES is disgusting enough. Interesting that he’s poking fun at his boss though.

[Mutekable]

Yes they are smiling greatly and happily, while so many soldiers and civilians are suffering at the war zones.

[oliviaprater]

Sounds like Boris and friends want to ride horses with their shirts off broback mountain part 2 ....👀

[europeanunion]

It must be so awkward to sit there as a woman during that conversation.

[templarknight]

What a bunch of funny guys. Did they understand that winter is coming?

[elastronaute]

Trudeau and Johnson are an absolute joke. I'm like Putin more every day.

[cooper]

I’ve never understood people who mock other people for being in better shape than themselves
