Of all the moments to come out of a G7 summit, this might just top the lot – and no, it’s not a new trade deal or bold climate pledge.
It’s a wink.
Specifically, a perfectly timed wink from former Bank of England chief Mark Carney to French president Emmanuel Macron, caught on camera as Donald Trump rambled through yet another bizarre explanation – this time, about leaving the G7 early to return home and, presumably, oversee some flagpole installations.
🎪 Trump exits stage right
Trump’s premature departure from the summit was explained with the usual vagueness and bluster. As he wanged on to reporters about his “urgent commitments” back in Washington, Macron and Carney looked on… politely.
Then came the moment. A split-second glance between the two, followed by a knowing, conspiratorial wink from Carney.
And the internet, naturally, lost its mind.
🤝 The shared look that said it all
It wasn’t just a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. It was a full-body eye-roll of diplomacy. The kind of unspoken bond forged when two professionals are forced to sit through a PowerPoint presentation delivered by a man who thinks NATO is a golf club.
Social media hailed it as the standout moment of the summit. Memes were made. GIFs were born. And suddenly Mark Carney – a former central banker – became the unexpected breakout star of international relations.
🇫🇷🇨🇦 French-Canadian finesse meets Trumpian chaos
We’re not saying world diplomacy should rely entirely on passive-aggressive winks and side-eyes. But let’s be honest – it says more than most official communiqués ever could.
Carney, a Canadian, and Macron, the French president, seemed to find some light relief in the chaos. And given Trump’s track record at these summits – storm-outs, sulks, and sideline tantrums – who can blame them?
