President of the United States Joe Biden is seen today (Wednesday) climbing the stairs of Air Force One, on his way to the United States from Chopin Warsaw Airport in Poland.
In a video shared on social media, Biden, 80, is seen quickly positioning himself, turning around and waving goodbye for a moment, and entering the plane.
This is the third time the president has fallen while trying to board Air Force One.
In March 2021, Biden tripped twice on his way to a plane as he took off for Georgia.
White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre then blamed a gust of wind that surprised the president.
In May, Biden momentarily lost his balance as he climbed the steps of the presidential plane at St. Andrews Air Force Base on his way to Illinois.
The president stabilized himself with the help of the stair railing and continued to climb.
A month later, Biden tripped again while walking up the steps of the plane before taking off for Los Angeles.

Biden is expected to return tonight (Wednesday) to the United States after a three-day visit to Eastern Europe to mark the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which included a surprise visit to Kiev, the capital.
The oldest president in the history of the United States underwent a medical and physical examination last week.
White House physician Kevin O'Connor noted in a five-page report that the president walks stiffly due to "severe arthritis in the spine, arthritis in the foot due to a minor fracture, and mild diabetic neuropathy in the feet."
