It was the moment the international press were waiting for -- Russian leader Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump shaking hands at the G20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany today. After a longer-than-expected meeting, lasting more than scheduled 45 minutes, the two posed for the media and the infamous Donald handshake happened. There was SO much wrapped up in it -- who'd pull away first? Would Trump do that awkward thing where he doesn't let go? Would the end up arm wrestling?
That wasn't the only handshake today -- Trump also met with Mexico's President Enrique Nieto and basically told him he still wants Mexico to pay for a wall. Uh, yeah -- that handshake was icy ...
