The meeting in June 2022 was meant to be a low-key gathering to discuss Ukraine, according to The Wall Street Journal.
President Joe Biden abruptly canceled a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the G7 summit in June 2022, citing the need for rest, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The cancellation surprised Scholz and his aides, while the State Department denied the report, claiming the White House had informed participants early on that Biden wouldn’t attend.
The incident raises questions about Biden’s daily schedule and his ability to function outside a specific timeframe, with reports suggesting he works best between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The cancellation comes ahead of the NATO summit, where Biden will face intense scrutiny over his mental acuity and ability to run against Donald Trump in the elections, with high-profile Democratic donors expressing concerns about his competence.
