It wasn’t quite the 25-second gripper of their encounter during Donald Trump's Bastille Day visit to Paris.

But Emmanuel Macron, the French president, still managed to leave finger marks on his counterpart during what was no doubt an awkward meeting with the American leader at the G7 summit in Canada on Friday evening.

They both said the rights things afterwards - claiming that progress was possible on the contentious issue of US trade tariffs - but the handshake suggested they were far from being on the same wavelength.

Mr Macon went in first for the arm, gripping Mr Trump above the elbow.
