How UK PM Johnson got viral for rowing a boat

Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, was in Sweden and Finland this week to sign a new security agreement when a photo of him went viral.

A photo from Johnson's visit that shows him rowing Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson in a boat without even putting on a life jacket has gone viral.

The UK Prime Minister, 57, went for a row in a Harpsundsekan boat on a lake with his Swedish counterpart, 55. Swedish Prime Ministers have a long tradition of taking visiting leaders out on the sea for a brief ride.

Johnson was photographed rowing across a lake with his full suit and no life jacket alongside Andersson, who was wearing one.

Many jokes implied that it was a metaphor for the Prime Ministers' approach to international relations.
