RIO DE JANEIRO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden inadvertently missed the traditional photo of world leaders at the G20 summit Monday, a photo-shoot fail that U.S. officials attributed to timing.

Instead, Trudeau and Biden strolled up after photographers had already taken the official picture, as other world leaders milled about chatting after having smiled and raised linked hands for the photo.
