Until Biden, that is — who turned 80 last November and is now himself the country’s oldest-ever president. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his sixth term as leader, will turn 74 this fall, while India‘s Narendra Modi — in the midst of a second term as prime minister — will turn 73. In Canada, the most recent prime minister of similar age to Biden was Louis St-Laurent, who was 75 when the Liberals lost the 1957 general election. The Conservative prime minister was the oldest to lead his country in decades at that time and the oldest since. By contrast, Rishi Sunak, the 42-year-old current prime minister, is the youngest British leader in 200 years.
