As President Donald Trump was leaving the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday his eye caught a familiar face in the crowd.

When the president spied Gov. Greg Abbott, who's been in Davos, Switzerland, since Saturday, Trump immediately rushed over with a handshake, a big hug and asked the Texas governor if he wanted a seat on Air Force One.

“I’ll give you a ride,” Trump said in a warm exchange caught on Twitter.

Abbott said he was grateful for the offer but had two more days of work in Switzerland before heading back home.

“We’ve got more deals to do,” Abbott said with a smile.

Abbott is on an 11-day economic development mission that started in Israel on Jan. 14. In Davos, he participated in the World Economic Forum, where he talked up the state’s booming economy and was trying to strike deals to get more businesses to move to Texas.

Abbott had no shortage of praise for Trump during an interview on FOX Business from Davos, where he said Trump delivered one of his best speeches ever. He said Trump was able to explain American exceptionalism and did not apologize for the nation’s strong economy.

Host Stuart Varney also asked Abbott about the changing politics of Texas and if people moving to the state are beginning to turn the state blue.

“First, my job every single day is to wake up and make sure that does not happen,” Abbott said. “They need to remember exactly why they’re fleeing California; why they’re fleeing Illinois; Why they’re fleeing New Jersey and New York and these other states. Do not bring with you the thing that’s causing you to flee those states. Come to the land of freedom. Texas is the last bastion of opportunity. Don’t blow it when you come here.”
