The 39-year-old French President tapped Mr Trump on the arm, leading to the United States leader letting go of Mrs Macron's hand before returning his full attention to Mr Macron.
President Donald Trump continued to downplay the controversy surrounding his eldest son on Thursday saying that "nothing happened" in Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer during the USA presidential campaign.
But any breakthrough on trickier issues such as Trump's rejection of the Paris climate change deal and his "America First" trade policy are unlikely.

Trump then shook hands with Macron's wife, Brigitte, as he continued to shake hands with the French president.
Mr Macron travels to Nice later to join commemorations there of last year's Bastille Day terrorist attack, in which a Tunisian-born man drove a huge lorry into a celebrating crowd on the beachfront, killing 86 people.

In Paris, however, Trump will witness his desired show of military might, albeit another country's.
France has been under a state of emergency since November 2015, when 130 people were slaughtered in a wave of coordinated violence across Paris, with French lawmakers voting last week to extend it for the sixth time.
