Light Moments of Leaders Go Viral at G7 Summit

At the G7 Summit held in France, world leaders witnessed not only serious diplomatic discussions but also several lighthearted and unscripted moments that quickly grabbed global attention. Donald Trump, Giorgia Meloni, and other leaders were seen in candid interactions, some of which were accidentally captured on live microphones.

In one instance, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz asked Meloni about smoking, to which she replied that she had quit recently, drawing praise from fellow leaders. In another viral moment, Emmanuel Macron forgot his watch in the meeting room, leading to a humorous exchange involving Canadian PM Mark Carney and Trump. Trump’s remark about Greenland during a conversation with European Council President António Costa also went viral. Meanwhile, Meloni’s friendly interaction with Indian PM Narendra Modi added to the so-called “Melody” social media trend.
