UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the opportunity on Sunday to jokingly argue over whether they should undress, with Johnson saying that showing off his “pecs” would make him appear “tougher than Putin.” 

As Johnson and Trudeau sat down for talks with US President Joe Biden and the rest of the G7 leaders at a summit in Krun, Germany, the British PM asked whether the Western leaders should “take our clothes off.”

Amid mild laughter, Johnson quipped “we have to show that we’re tougher than [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”

Trudeau joined in, suggesting that the group take part in a “bare-chested horseback riding display,” before Johnson replied “we’ve got to show them our pecs.”
