Watch: Turkey's Erdogan Grabs Emmanuel Macron's Finger, Doesn't Let Go | Read

French President Emmanuel Macron and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, shared an unusual interaction during the European Political Community (EPC) summit in Tirana that has sparked buzz online. In the now-viral footage, Macron can be seen reaching out for a handshake, patting Erdogan's hands in a seemingly friendly gesture. However, instead of releasing Macron's hand after the handshake, the Turkish President unexpectedly grasped the French leader's finger and held on to it, while he appeared to stare off into the distance. The next few seconds appear awkward for Macron, who stood there talking and trying to free his hand. Erdogan released Macron's finger a few seconds later, with both leaders laughing shortly afterwards.
