Trump accused of ‘humiliating’ UK Prime Minister as viewers point out his reaction
A high-profile peace summit in Egypt, intended to address the Israel-Hamas conflict, was notably overshadowed by a series of awkward and headline-grabbing moments involving Donald Trump.
The event began on a lighthearted note when Trump mistakenly referred to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as “president.” Carney humorously acknowledged the promotion, prompting a quick-witted retort from Trump.
The former president then drew attention by complimenting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s appearance. He remarked that calling a woman “beautiful” would typically end a political career in the U.S., but he would “take his chances.”
A particularly cringe-worthy exchange occurred with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. After Trump invited him forward, Starmer made a light joke before being promptly ignored and returning to his place without speaking.
This interaction was widely perceived as a public snub. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many users interpreting it as a deliberate humiliation of the British leader.
Later, a tense handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron added to the drama. A lip reader suggested Trump questioned Macron’s genuineness, leading to a visibly uncomfortable moment for the French leader.
Ultimately, the diplomatic gathering was defined less by its official purpose and more by Trump’s unconventional and often uncomfortable interactions with other world leaders.
