World leaders' reactions to Trump's dominance on social media during his handshake with Macron in France are being closely monitored.

The meeting between President-elect Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Saturday sparked outrage among social media users over Trump's "overpowering" handshake.

Trump attended the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, his first international trip since winning the 2024 presidential election. Prior to the event, he met Macron and the two shook hands in a viral gesture.

""Macron will require a hand massage after Trump's intense handshake," wrote George on X."

"Commentator Drew Hernandez stated that President Trump's handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron was one of the most dominating he had ever seen, indicating that the two leaders were back on good terms."

The handshake battle between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron persists, seven years later.

In 2017, during Trump's first term, the two world leaders shook hands for 29 seconds and seemed to be pulling each other back and forth while walking with their wives.

"According to John Lefevre, the Trump-Macron handshake is amusing because it occurred twice, and despite Macron's preparation, he was still overpowered."

The handshake between Trump and Putin at the G-20 Summit in 2019 has become a viral moment.

Jill Biden and Prince William were present at the reopening ceremony with Trump.
