At the G7 summit, Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke to reporters about a new trade deal. While showing off the signed agreement, Trump accidentally dropped the document—revealing that most of its pages were completely blank.
The moment, caught on video, quickly went viral online. Trump, 78, made no attempt to pick up the papers, leaving that to Starmer, who joked, “A very important document!” Despite Trump’s claim that the deal was finalized, observers were quick to notice the lack of content. Social media erupted with sarcastic remarks, calling it “a trade agreement written entirely in invisible ink and ego.”
Critics mocked Trump not only for the apparent photo-op gaffe but also for referring to the agreement as one with the “European Union”—despite the UK no longer being a member post-Brexit. Some pointed to this as further evidence of Trump’s declining awareness and political confusion.
The incident sparked widespread ridicule, with many highlighting the absurdity of celebrating a blank document as historic. Critics argue that moments like this reflect deeper concerns about global diplomacy under Trump’s leadership, as tensions rise worldwide.
