Emmanuel Macron had a 13-second handshake with Donald Trump and there was only one winner
Donald Trump’s got a bit of a history when it comes to handshakes and French president Emmanuel Macron was clearly determined not to take any of his nonsense at the G7 summit.
Just watch this.

Poor Donald tries to let go about 10 seconds in, but Macron’s having none of it.
