US President Donald Trump's first NATO summit in Brussels was no less than a comedy show. The trip was full of awkward moments but Trump's 'never-ending handshake' with French President Emmanuel Macron was the highlight of them all.
French President Macron is seen shaking hands with other European leaders, and all of a sudden, ‘handshake lover Trump’ grabs his hand and shakes it the ‘Trump way’.
When it was the French president’s turn to grab Trump’s hand, he give it back.
He is seen pushing the Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic to come to the front for a group photograph at the summit.

In his speech, Trump claimed that the US has spent more on defense in the past eight years and asked other NATO countries to pay more.
