"Do You Want A Handshake?" Merkel Asks Trump (Spoiler Alert: No)

Few recall what transpired one month ago when Japan"s PM Abe met with Donald Trump, but everyone remembers the infamous handshake:




Today, as previewed, Trump is meeting with his European nemesis, the green-wearing German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and will hold a press conference at 1:20pm, although what most really wanted to know is whether Trump would unleash the infamous "handshake" yet again.


This is what happened next according to CNBC"s Steve Kopac:


"Can we get a handshake?" the press asks


Merkel looks at Trump


"Do You Want A Handshake?"


Trump grins


At that moment the press is ushered out without any handshake.




And that is all you need to know about the current state of US-German relations; you can ever drink right through the press conference.
