While attending a three-day G7 summit to discuss the war in Ukraine, Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau lightened the mood by cracking some jokes at Vladimir Putin's expense.
As world leaders sat around a table prepping for a photo shoot, Johnson asked if they should strip off their clothes, Putin-style.
"Jackets on? Jackets off? Shall we take our clothes off?" the UK prime minister said, referring to a shirtless 2009 photo of Putin, which the Russian dictator used to dupe Fox News pundits into thinking a bare chest signified real leadership. "We all have to show that we're tougher than Putin," Johnson quipped.
"We're going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display," Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau said, joining in on the fun.
"There you go! There you go!" Johnson said. "We've got to show them our pecs!"
