Joe Biden was corrected by Boris Johnson after the president interrupted him at the G7 summit

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was seen correcting US President Joe Biden at this weekend's G7 Summit in Cornwall, England, after the president interrupted him to wrongly suggest that Johnson had failed to introduce South Africa's president at a roundtable of world leaders. Johnson appeared to twice wave away Biden's interruptions on Saturday, while he was hosting a roundtable of world leaders at the G7 summit. The UK prime minister welcomed India's prime minister Narendra Modi via video-link and then introduced South Africa's president Cyril Ramaphosa, who joined the leaders of the G7 grouping, which comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. "And the president of South Africa," Biden added to Johnson. "And the president of South Africa, as I said earlier on," Johnson replied. "Oh, you did," Biden said. "I did, I certainly did," Johnson said. It was not clear from footage of the incident whether Biden had not heard Johnson introduced President Ramaphosa or whether he was unaware of his name and therefore had not realized that Johnson had already introduced him.
