A video from a reception at Buckingham Palace appears to show several world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and French President Emmanuel Macron poking fun at US President Donald Trump in his absence.

The press pool video was posted to Twitter with captions by the Canadian Broadcasting Company on Tuesday.

In the video, Trudeau does not mention Trump by name but appears to make fun of Trump’s impromptu Tuesday-morning press conference, in which he attacked Macron for saying last month that Nato was going brain-dead.

“He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top,” said Trudeau.

“You just watched his team’s jaws drop to the floor,” Trudeau continued.

Johnson and Macron appear to laugh at the reference, though their responses cannot be heard in the video.
