Jill Biden reminds president to 'pay attention' during speech

First Lady Jill Biden told her husband to “pay attention” as she addressed US troops at RAF Mildenhall on Wednesday evening.

President and Dr Biden were speaking to US service members stationed in the UK, before travelling to Newquay, Cornwall for the G7 summit, when the lighthearted moment happened.
