IA "Reginum"So describes what is happening on a 12-second viral video:“ The embarrassment occurred on the stage, where his French colleague Emmanuel Macron with his wife Brigitte stood next to the US president. As can be seen on the frames, the American leader shook his hand to Macron and then tried to sit on a chair that was not. ” The author of the note c URA.RU He even refers to the official recording of the event on the social network X: “Bayden shook his hand in the French chapter and several times attempted to sit on a chair that was not next to him on the stage.

Moreover, if you look at the whole broadcast, you can see that the US president listened to all the performances of guests invited, sitting on the same chair.
A similar broadcast was carried out by the channel NBC News, but the record of the publication The Guardian It differs slightly - the angle of shooting practically coincides with the fact that in the viral video. There the desired passage begins at the mark 26:35and already in 26:50 It can be seen how Biden sits in his place - where he planned initially. Apparently, when the American leader wanted to sit on his chair, he heard the announcer’s appeal to those present and froze in anticipation until he uttered the name of the speaker. Immediately after this, the speech of the US Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin began, and the president of the country performed after him.
Moreover, even on a viral passage, despite its low quality, behind Macron, Biden and their husband can be seen the outlines of chairs.
