President Trump did not extend his hand to shake German Chancellor Angela Merkels in a Friday Oval Office photo op, a courtesy he usually extends to foreign leaders visiting the white House.
Trump sat next to Merkel in front of a fireplace for the brief photo-op.
Very good, Trump said to assembled reporters when asked about what the two leaders discussed. Lots of things.
Very good, thanks, Merkel said in German.
But Trump hardly looked at Merkel and, when the photo op ended, didnt move in for a handshake

Thanks for posting that!
Yep we have banned AP photos posted on both the threads.
The photo of Merkel makes her look like a ventriloquists dummy!
Those Bushes sure do have the touch don’t they.
Stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop.
Surprised that weirdo drunk clown Jorge Bush grabbed a woman, Merkel. Usually his bizarre acts of public affection involve men, like Saudi Kings whom he holds and caresses, or men in wheelchairs whom he kisses on the head.
Her hands probably smell like bratwurst, anyway.
Das ist wahr.
The vile Merkel is lucky that Trump agreed to meet her at all. She is the worst thing to happen to Western Civilization since World War Two. Should be in a German jail awaiting trial for treason, not going to meetings in Washington DC.
They were perfectly cordial before then, and after then at the press conference. This is another MSM nothing-burger.
Why should he?
Merkel is being intransigent and refuses to pay the agreed amount for NATO.
She told Trump: Oh.. we will START paying the full amount in 2025.
Yeah right, after his 8 year term ends.. does she think we are all idiots?
What about carrying the difference as a debt?
What a slap in the face for Trump! why don’t they report that?
Where is the outrage!!!!!
Trump should say no problem, we will just match the German contribution (in other words cut our NATO contribution by half).
Algeria Merkel.
