"Many very important matters of global diplomacy were probably discussed at the Group of 7 summit meeting over the weekend.
But let’s be honest: The meetings are over now, and all many people are still talking about is that viral photo.
The picture — taken on Saturday by Jesco Denzel, a German government photographer — was quickly posted to Instagram on the verified account of Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.
In the photograph, Ms. Merkel is staring at President Trump and Mr. Trump is staring right back toward her and other world leaders. We could go on, but you know what they say about a photo and its worth relative to words.”*
