India Today
A video purportedly showing US President Joe Biden ignoring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and instead greeting newly elected Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has gone viral on social media. India Today's Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found the video to be misleading.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of the United States, Japan and Australia attended the Quad Summit in Tokyo, Japan, a video went viral on social media allegedly showing US President Joe Biden ignoring the Indian PM and instead, greeting newly elected Australian PM Anthony Albanese.
In the 14-second-long clip, Biden could be seen welcoming and exchanging words with the new Australian PM. However, he appeared not to extend the same courtesy to Modi who was on the stage with them.
Many sharing the video claimed Biden insulted the Indian PM at the Quad Summit.
Archived versions of some similar clips can be seen here and here.
The India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) found this video alongside the claim misleading. The original longer video showed Biden greeting Modi as well.
