A viral video on Twitter shows US President Joe Biden bypassing PM Modi to talk to the Australian PM Anthony Albanese. On further enquiry, it was found that after talking to the Australian PM, Biden interacted with Modi.
A video was shared on Twitter by journalist Shyam Meera Singh on May 24, featuring a video clip of US President Joe Biden "ignoring" Modi to talk to the newly elected Australian PM Anthony Albanese. The caption "World Leader" (translated) was used in the Tweet.
The popular parody handle @RoflGandhi_ also Tweeted the same video with the sarcastic caption "Biden didn't even dare to look at Modi for he is the world leader." (translated)
The two Tweets have had thousands of views and retweets.
Searching with keywords like "Quad Summit", "Modi" and "Biden", a relevant news report by WION was found. The article featured a video of the meeting.
At around 0:19, Biden can be seen turning to interact with Modi. Therefore, the viral claim that Biden snubbed Modi in the Quad Summit is false. A clip from the original video has been shared out of context to reinforce this false claim.
In conclusion, Biden did not ignore Modi in the Quad Summit while interacting with the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The viral video has been clipped from the original video to create a false narrative. The original video shows Biden turning to interact with Modi.
