Donald Trump came under fresh criticism at the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, after cameras caught him pulling Brigitte Macron in for a kiss as he said goodbye to Emmanuel Macron. The brief exchange, which unfolded after a state dinner at the Palace of Versailles, was quickly clipped, shared and picked apart online, with viewers describing it as awkward, overfamiliar and, to some, plain uncomfortable.
The news came after Trump attended the annual gathering of leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the UK. According to the White House, he also signed a peace deal at the summit's state dinner, bringing a months-long standoff between Washington and Tehran to a close. That was the formal backdrop. The footage with the Macrons was the human one, and it is always the human one that travels fastest.
