* The two presidents engaged in another handshake battle as they said au revoir at the conclusion of the US leader’s visit
* Brigitte Macron was also drawn into the tug of war, with Trump using both his hands to jerk the couple in

First Lady of France Brigitte Macron was also drawn into the tug of war, with Trump using both his hands to jerk the couple in.
