President Biden refused to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during the 2022 G7 summit because he had to go to bed according to the WSJ. Biden had fallen asleep by the time of the meeting.
Interesting how the media suddenly has all these exclusive stories.
“German officials, aware of Biden’s fatigue at night, sought to accommodate the president…” the WSJ report claimed.
“The informal event… was arranged as a confidential meeting on Ukraine in a relaxed setting.”
Biden still didn’t show up which caught the chancellor and his aides off guard.
“Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden had to go to bed, according to two people who were there.”

Both Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby refer to President Biden’s upcoming press conference as a “Big Boy” press conference.
Remarkable.
KJP: “This week, President Biden will… hold a press conference, a Big Boy press conference.”
Kirby: “After that the president will hold a press conference. I guess a big boy press conference is what we’re calling it.”
