G7 leaders mock Putin in jokes about stripping off


Elmau Castle (Germany) (AFP) – World leaders mock Russian President Vladimir Putin’s tough-man image at a G7 lunch in Germany, joking about whether they should strip down to shirtsleeves — or even less. “We’re going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display,” says Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, referring to Putin’s infamous 2009 photo-op of himself riding shirtless on a horse.
