UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer nearly faceplanted as he approached a group of business leaders ahead of the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. The incident occurred shortly after he arrived in the country, with footage showing him stumbling and recovering just in time.
The G20 summit, held in Johannesburg from November 22-23, marks South Africa’s first time leading the forum, which includes leaders from the world’s largest economies. Starmer was seen reaching out for a handshake when he lost his balance, throwing out his hands to regain his footing. The event also highlighted previous mishaps, such as his stumble during the COP 30 climate conference in Brazil.
