Even as memes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni sharing warm moments galore on social media X, a clip of the Italian leader apparently giving a cold stare at French President Emmanuel Macron is trending online.
A 15-second clip shows Meloni purportedly rolling her eyes and welcoming with what many claim to be a 'not-so welcoming' handshake.
The incident occurred at the summit, where both leaders were present to discuss pressing global issues.
It came a day after both the European leaders clashed at the G7 Summit over specific language to be included on abortion rights, after the G7 leaders made no direct reference to abortion in their final communique on Friday, according to a draft seen by news agency Reuters.
