Her shadow cuts off abruptly. Is this a green screen? Since there is already a dead comment about that, I'm guessing I'm wrong for some obvious reason, but I can't place it.

There's at least one or two steps of a stair, so the "top" part is lower than the front part, thus making the shadow get cut off.

You can see the shadow on the bag on the right side in the beginning.

I thought so too, but someone pointed out that she is standing on a raised location with descending steps behind it, causing the shadow to be hidden from view.

its an elevated platform, the shadow is not visible because its falling on the steps.

Makes you wonder why she chose the road view angle

Otherwise she had to place the camera on the road. And road views are fine specially when the background is the White House or the parliament building in this case.
