As G20 leaders gather for their summit in Germany, one interaction in particular has caught the attention of social media.
A video posted online shows German Chancellor Angela Merkel appearing to roll her eyes during a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reports Mediaite.
As the Washington Post described the moment, “Putin, with one hand in his pocket and the other emphatically gesturing, appears to be discussing a topic that Merkel seems to find less than riveting based on her reaction.”
The media outlet also speculated that the pair may have been speaking German, as Putin is fluent in the language from his time working in East Germany.
Numerous people tweeted about Merkel’s eye roll, with the gesture being described as “epic,” “priceless,” and “serious.”
Meanwhile, others voiced their support for the German leader, with one person writing, “Unlike @realDonaldTrump >> MERKEL isn't intimidated & awed by Putin. The world needs MORE MERKEL and less TRUMP. #EyeRoll.”
And someone else remarked, “In most photos from #G20Summit @realDonaldTrump and #Putin finger wagging at Merkel. She isn't here for it. #eyeroll #fragilemasculinity.”
