THE TERRIBLE HANDSHAKE: Emmanuel Macron white-knuckle handshake showdown with Trump was “a moment of truth”

“my handshake with him, it wasn’t innocent.”

PARIS (AP) – President Emmanuel  Macron added: “One must show that you won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones, but also not over-publicize things, either.” Macron’s office confirmed to The Associated Press the veracity of the president’s comments in Le Journal du Dimanche. At their first meeting, ahead of a NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday, the two men locked hands for so long that knuckles started turning white.

Donald also had problems getting Pope Francis to shake hands.
