Nothing is ever conventional with Donald Trump. You'll never know what to expect. But during the G20 Summit, he had a funny and possibly quite awkward exchange with PM Shinzo Abe of Japan and PM Narendra Modi of India. When the three were about to exchange greetings, PM Abe held out his hand to shake Trump's but was met with an outstretched fist instead.
President Donald Trump ditched his usual bizarre and domineering handshaking technique during a photo session at the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on Friday. Instead, Trump initiated a strange three-way fist bump with the prime ministers of Japan (Shinzo Abe) and India (Narendra Modi) ahead of their trilateral talks.
The awkward gesture was βan example of a good way Trump is upsetting the global order,β David Nakamura, a reporter for The Washington Post, tweeted.
