New Delhi: A video featuring Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has gone viral on social media wherein she can be seen rolling eyes as she and other NATO leaders wait for US president Joe Biden's arrival at a summit.  

The video was recorded on Thursday morning when the third day of the NATO summit began in Washington. The video shows Meloni speaking with Finnish President Alexander Stubb when she rolled her eyes and checked a non-existent watch as the ticked past the scheduled time. 'Annoyed', the leader was also caught chuckling after making a face.

The leaders were waiting for both President Biden and the alliance's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

As per media reports, the NATO summit was scheduled to start at 10am.

After Meloni checked her non-existent watch, another person standing next to her took out his phone to check the time following which the Italian PM rolled her eyes again before noticing the cameras.

The video was shared by many netizens on social media.

As per media reports, Biden and Stoltenberg opened the day at 10.40am.

This is not the first instance of their (Biden and Meloni) encounter hitting the headlines. Earlier in June, Biden was seen awkwardly saluting Meloni at the G7 Summit in Italy.

Later, the 81-year-old US President was seen smiling and slowly walking away from a group of world leaders in Italy.

Meloni, who quickly noticed Biden's move, came to his rescue, diverting his attention to the group of leaders as they posed for a photograph together. Biden, then, shuffled back to the group.
