Italian PM Giorgia Meloni rolls eyes, checks imaginary watch waiting for Biden’s arrival at NATO
WASHINGTON – Hurry up, Joe.
With an eye roll for the ages, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appeared annoyed Thursday morning as she and other world leaders waited for President Biden and the alliance’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to finally grace them with their presence and open the third day of the NATO summit.
Speaking with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Meloni looked up at the ceiling and crossed her eyes dramatically before gesturing to her wrist to reveal she was not wearing a watch, as the clock ticked past the scheduled 10 a.m. start time.
A third person listening to the conversation then pulled out his phone to check the time, and she again rolled her eyes and scowled before apparently noticing the cameras focused on her.
It’s unclear what the leaders were discussing, but the bold reaction caught the attention of some onlookers, including a Financial Times reporter who said Meloni displayed “top eye-rolling form” in a post to X.
