ALBAWABA - The peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh has featured some unusual situations, with the most notable one occurring between U.S. President Donald Trump and his counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
A video has circulated on social media, generating thousands of views, showing Egyptian President extending his hand to shake it with Trump; however, the U.S. President didn't pay attention, so el-Sisi took it back.
After sitting, a similar situation took place when the U.S. President extended his hand for Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, then the latter seemed to ignore him, before Donald Trump called him out, then the two shook hands.
Donald Trump then said in a loud voice, "He [Egyptian President] is a good man, he is a good man. We are with him all the way long."
On Oct. 13, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi awarded Donald Trump Egypt's highest state honor, the Order of the Nile.
