ON CAM: Trump Left Waiting as PM Modi Skips Signature Hug in ‘Frosty’ G7 Encounter

An unusually formal exchange between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 Summit has sparked massive buzz online. During the G7 group photo, the two leaders appeared to exchange only a brief glance, a contrast to their often warm and highly publicized interactions in the past. The moment drew further attention when Modi and Trump met indoors, greeting each other with a firm handshake rather than their trademark embrace that has frequently made headlines at bilateral meetings and international summits. Video footage from the event showed Trump patting Modi’s elbow as the two leaders took their seats alongside one another.
