US PRESIDENT Donald Trump jokingly told top world leaders attending the G7 Summit in France that he is “the boss”, marking a light moment amid the ongoing tense geopolitical situation. “I’m the boss,” said Trump as he arrived at an outreach session of the summit which was also attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump’s comment drew laughter from the attending leaders with the host and French President Emmanuel Macron asking the US President replying “How are you?”. “Good, thank you,” replied Trump.

 

The brief interaction has taken social media by storm. Wednesday was the final day of the G7 Summit at Evian and Trump is scheduled to hold a series of meetings. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump and PM Modi exchanged greetings on the sidelines of a G7 outreach session on ‘Forging New Partnerships and Rebuilding International Solidarity’. The two leaders shook hands and held a brief conversation before joining discussions attended by G7 countries, partner nations, the World Bank and the African Development Bank.
