Following reported tensions at the G7 summit in Italy, French President Emmanuel Macron briefly shook hands with former U.S. President Donald Trump. The interaction lasted approximately 14 seconds, according to observers. This occurred after a working session focused on the war in Ukraine and global economic issues. The brief exchange follows Macron’s earlier comments suggesting the possibility of needing to intervene directly in Ukraine if Russia were to win, a statement that reportedly drew criticism from Trump. Details surrounding the handshake are limited, but it represents a momentary re-engagement between the two leaders after a period of apparent discord. The G7 summit continues, with ongoing discussions on international security and economic stability.
