US President Joe Biden visited Brazil for the G20 summit, making a historic visit to the Amazon rainforest, becoming the first US leader to visit the region.
The main objective of the trip was to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment and reducing carbon dioxide emissions to combat global warming, as reported by CNN.
Biden called the fight against climate change one of the key aspects of his presidency and appealed to the future administration, including Donald Trump’s team, not to forget about this important issue.
“I will leave a solid foundation for the next president and for the country if they decide to continue this work. “Some may deny or try to delay the development of clean energy in the United States, but no one can completely stop this process,” Biden said in his speech.
During the visit, the President of the United States observed from above the effects of drying rivers and the destruction caused by wildfires during an aerial tour. However, many remembered this visit thanks to the curious situation that occurred after his speech.
During an outdoor press conference, Biden, after saying goodbye to reporters, suddenly headed into the woods, where no one was there. This moment quickly became the basis for jokes and memes on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

Some Internet users suggested that Biden was “destined to find his destiny.” There were also tongue-in-cheek accusations that the president was supposedly going to “start World War III and hide in the Amazon forests.”
Others compared the scene to the reality show Survivor, where contestants are stranded on a desert island and forced to fend for themselves: “When you get kicked out at the end of an episode of Survivor.” User X also noted: “The new Indiana Jones game seems a little strange.”
Previously, Cursor reported that Biden responded strangely to a reporter after he was asked about the Israeli hostages.
