President Biden Shares Intimate Forehead-to-Forehead Hug with Pope Francis at G7 Summit in Italy (Video)
US President Joe Biden embraced a surprised-looking Pope Francis with an intimate forehead-to-forehead hug on Friday, June 14, during the G7 summit in Italy.
The 87-year-old pontiff, who was brought into the room in a wheelchair, participated in discussions on artificial intelligence, energy, and the Africa-Mediterranean region. He is the first pope to ever attend a G7 gathering.
As the 87-year-old pontiff was wheeled into the meeting, Biden, a devout Catholic, greeted Pope Francis with a heartfelt forehead-to-forehead hug.
