German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been extremely relatable during the first day of Hamburg's G20 summit.
In between rolling her eyes at Vladimir Putin mansplaining something to her and covering her face in the presence of Donald Trump, Merkel found time to steal a kiss on the cheek from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — which, from the looks of the photos, could wind up being the high point of her entire summit.
Like the rest of the world, Merkel's face lit up at the sheer sight of Trudeau's inviting blue eyes and gentle smile. And as you can see, to celebrate his arrival at the first day of the G20 economic summit in Hamburg, Germany, the two eagerly took part in a friendly photo op.
