President Joe Biden stumbled twice then fell as he ascended the steps of Air Force One on Friday.
Biden, 78, recovered quickly after falling to his knees and carried on up the steps before giving a salute at the top.
He then disappeared into the aircraft.
The tumble comes a day after the gaffe-prone President referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as ‘President Harris’, and a day after a bitter stand-off with Russian President Vladimir Putin which ended in Putin wishing him ‘good health’.

Putin pulled out of an envoy to the US after Biden called him a ‘killer’ in an interview earlier this week.
He also said he will ‘pay a price’ for recent acts of aggression.
Biden and Harris had been planning a trip to Atlanta to meet with failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, whose work in the state on voting rights helped give Biden a victory in Georgia last year.
