Falmouth, England (CNN) When President Donald Trump used his elbows at international summits, it was to throw them -- on trade, on Russia and, once, to help remove the Montenegrin prime minister from his path to a photo-op.
His successor Joe Biden used his elbows differently this week. Arriving to his first global summit, he crooked his arm to extend pandemic-era greetings to a group of leaders who no longer have to tiptoe around a truculent and often angry American president.
Officials attending this week's Group of 7 summit on the Cornish coast in England are emerging shell-shocked after four years dealing with a US president who often appeared intent on injecting animosity into their gatherings.
In front of cameras and behind-the-scenes this weekend, officials said the abrasive interjections and lengthy tangents Trump brought to world summits were absent, replaced by a more businesslike and predictable agenda, including on areas of serious disagreement like China.
Asked alongside Biden on Saturday whether the United States was back, French President Emmanuel Macron answered yes.
"Definitely," he said, waves crashing in Carbis Bay in the background. Even the special guest at a Friday night reception took note of the new vibe.
"Are you supposed to be looking as if you're enjoying yourself?" quipped Britain's Queen Elizabeth, who later was pictured in friendly conversation with Biden and his wife outside a futuristic biosphere, her son Prince Charles and his wife Camilla clutching drinks in the background.

If you sneeze into your elbow, are you supposed to use that elbow to elbow-touch somebody? Sounds very 3rd-worldly.
That is because Trump was a leader and other countries feared this more than a brain addled douchbag
So pathetic. Despicable elitist hypocrites.
“Thank God we can roll this guy”
He crooked his arm to extend a blank check says it’s good it’s a China bank.
Partisan Media Shill alert.
Translation: “Pedo Potato has no spine. Leeches of the world can go back to sucking America’s blood.”
Of course they were relived, nobody was telling them they had to pay their bills.
Does CNN think that is good?
Because all these socialists know Slow Joe will allow them to continue to thrive off the American taxpayers!
Knowing that you don’t have to worry about running out of America’s taxes is a very relaxing concept...it is the American people who now need to be worried!!

CNN is garbage.
“...I don’t think they’re ever going to get that brown stuff off of their noses...”
It would be impossible seeing where they ARE “that brown stuff”.
