Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni appeared upset Thursday morning as she and other world leaders waited for President Biden and the alliance's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg , to open the third day of the NATO summit.
Speaking to Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Meloni looked up at the ceiling dramatically, foreign media reported, before gesturing with her wrist to indicate she wasn't wearing a watch.
A third person listening to the conversation then pulled out his phone to check the time, and she rolled her eyes again before realizing the cameras were focused on her.
It's unclear what the leaders were discussing, but the bold reaction caught the eye of some viewers, including a Financial Times reporter , who said Meloni showed off " great eye shape " in a post on X.
Biden and Stoltenberg finally opened the third day of the summit around 10:40 a.m., after Biden left the White House for the summit nearly 20 minutes after the event was scheduled to begin.
The White House also postponed Biden's much-anticipated press conference to 6:30 p.m.
This is not the first time the 81-year-old president has kept Meloni on hold this summer.
He was the last of the leaders to arrive at last month's G7 meeting in Italy's Puglia region.
" You shouldn't let a woman wait like that ," Meloni told Biden humorously at the time.
