Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk made a not-so-subtle jab at Donald Trump on Thursday over the president-elect’s historical past of awkward handshakes with France’s Emmanuel Macron.
The French president traveled to Warsaw to satisfy with Tusk and focus on his current talks with Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy held final week forward of the Notre Dame Cathedral reopening ceremony.
Trump — who has a hand in some lengthy, notable white-knuckled exchanges with Macron — added to his popularity of awkwardly gripping onto Macron’s hand throughout their current assembly in Paris, exchanges that Tusk couldn’t ignore after his personal talks with the French president.
“Handshakes with Donalds are normally fairly a problem …,” wrote Tusk alongside a clip of him playfully gripping Macron’s hand for a number of seconds on the Warsaw assembly.
Members of the press snapped images of the 2 through the handshake on Thursday earlier than Tusk leaned in to whisper one thing to Macron and tapped the again of his hand.
It’s unclear what Tusk informed the French president, who appeared amused by the remarks as they wrapped up the dap.
