Donald Trump’s greeting with Brigitte Macron at the 2026 G7 Summit drew widespread attention after he appeared to hold her hand for several seconds during an awkward exchange.
The moment came just weeks after Trump mocked Brigitte and her marriage to French President Emmanuel Macron. As footage spread online, reactions ranged from criticism to jokes about the prolonged handshake.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling claimed Trump told Macron, “I’m ready for tonight” before greeting Brigitte with, “Hello, sweetheart.” Brigitte allegedly responded, “Happy birthday.” The claim has not been independently confirmed.
Body language expert Judi James later suggested Trump showed greater warmth toward Brigitte than Macron, further fueling discussion about the encounter.
