Donald Trump's Feeble 'Limp Wrist' Handshake with Macron Sparks Health Alarm at G7 Arrival

Donald Trump's latest handshake with Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit in France has reignited online debate about his health, after cameras caught the former US president greeting his French counterpart with a visibly weak grip and an oddly angled arm.

Trump and Macron's handshakes have become a running sideshow at international summits over the years. The pair are known for turning routine greetings into mini power struggles, gripping hard and holding on long after the cameras have got what they need. This time, at least on video, the energy seemed to vanish from one side of the equation.
