(ANSA) – ELMAU, JUN 26 – Vladimir Putin’s tough image makes the G7 leaders smile who have given life to a curtain on the athletic physique, or presumed one, of the Russian president, perhaps mindful of the numerous times in which he is photographed shirtless on horseback or fishing, in a frozen lake or by the doctor.
“With jackets? Without? Shall we take off our coats?” Asked British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, before the usual photos, sitting at the table in the castle of Elmau, which houses the summit, while the others joked about having to stay in shirt sleeves or even less. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested waiting for the official photo before undressing, but Johnson insisted: “We have to prove that we are tougher than Putin,” and the joke continued to roll. “Let’s do a bare-chested riding show,” Trudeau retorted, referring to the picturesque photo of the 2009 Russian leader riding bare-chested. “Horse riding is the best thing,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, without embarking on the question of clothing. But Johnson didn’t give up: “We have to show them our bibs.” Then the leaders posed – with their jackets on – for photos, before reporters were asked to leave the room, leaving the sartorial debate behind closed doors.
