President Biden's attendance at the NATO summit in Lithuania has drawn scrutiny from Fox News host Jesse Watters. Watters, on his program "Jesse Watters Primetime," questioned Biden's leadership, highlighting instances where the President appeared to be guided by other leaders, such as King Charles and the Lithuanian president. Watters characterized this as "leading from behind." He also criticized Biden's absence from a key summit dinner, a crucial event for diplomatic discussions and negotiations. The official explanation for Biden's absence cited four days of prior official business and fatigue. However, Watters countered this by pointing out Biden's recent beach vacation in Delaware, questioning the validity of the official statement.
Watters emphasized the importance of the NATO summit, particularly the dinner, as a platform for crucial geopolitical discussions and deal-making. He expressed concern over Biden missing such an opportunity, especially given the significant diplomatic efforts underway at the summit. The host contrasted the President's absence with the expectations of ordinary Americans who work five-day weeks without taking early departures on Fridays.
