Awkward: Merkel asks for a handshake, Trump doesn't respond

Amid the chaos of President Trump and Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel's first meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, a request was made.

Photographers wondered if the world leaders would shake hands.

Merkel turned to Trump. "Do you want a handshake?" she asked.

Trump didn't respond. (To be fair, it seemed loud in the room.)

And then Merkel made a face.
